Hello Tim,
Good to hear you enjoyed the Black Forest event as we did and had a safe=20
journey home.
=20
You are right, the the washer is fitted between the adapter and the gearbox=
=20
and not not between the cable and the adapter. These "aftermarket" adapters=
=20
are prone to fail.

Hi Team

On the way back from the excellent Healey Event in the Black Forest the=20
Speedometer on my BJ8 stopped working.

=20

On my return I have verified that it is the Adapter that failed, not the=20
cable or the Speedometer.

=20

I have obtained a new Adapter from AH Spares and both at time of purchase=
=20
and in the part fitting instructions I was told that it is vital that I fit=
=20
the Washer that comes with it.

=20

I assumed that I would find a washer with the old one and know exactly=20
which end of the Adapter to fit it. But I did not. The fitting diagram that=
=20
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=20
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

=20

Tim
