The angle drive can be easily repaired. You need to remove one or both =
disks, the big one I believe. Then replace the broken cable with a short =
piece of speedo cable and square up the ends; only one end if you start =
with a square end.

Hello Tim,

Good to hear you enjoyed the Black Forest event as we did and had a safe =
journey home.

=20

You are right, the the washer is fitted between the adapter and the =
gearbox and not not between the cable and the adapter. These =
"aftermarket" adapters are prone to fail.

Hi Team

On the way back from the excellent Healey Event in the Black Forest the =
Speedometer on my BJ8 stopped working.

=20

On my return I have verified that it is the Adapter that failed, not the =
cable or the Speedometer.

=20

I have obtained a new Adapter from AH Spares and both at time of =
purchase and in the part fitting instructions I was told that it is =
vital that I fit the Washer that comes with it.

=20

I assumed that I would find a washer with the old one and know exactly =
which end of the Adapter to fit it. But I did not. The fitting diagram =
that comes with the part is useless as it is back to front and very =
unclear.

=20

>From the Workshop manual I believe that the Washer is fitted between the =
Adapter and the Gearbox, not between the Cable and the Adapter.

=20

I shall be most grateful if your wisdom will confirm if I am right.

=20

Many thanks
