The easiest/cheapest way is to use a Datsun speedo cable, cut off the metal
sleeve and threaded nut nearest the speedo,use a piece of 7/16 ID plastic
tubine (Tygon) and two fuelline clamps to connect them.
This will give you the connection but the speedo will read 80% of your true
speed.
The better way is to use the Rivergate cable gearbox and proper cable (around
$150 total I think)
