Re: [TR] Routing of Speedo Cable on LHS non-OD TR3A/B?

[Don Hiscock <don.hiscock@gmail.com>]

Consensus  coming in through pm is that LHS non-OD speedo cable is routed
between steering column and inner fender, as illustrated on page 13 of
blue-covered "Practical Hints" TR3 manual.

No word on where a p-clip might fit, though...

Thanks, guys.
