Hey Richard,
I have a new 100 tank from AHSpares still in the box but a few years old. =
=C2=A0Never used it.
Shipping might be a bit spendy but I would throw in a used gas =C2=A0cap.
I would also want $200 for the tank.

Simon,

I have a fiberglass trans cover that is yet to be installed that came from =
another LHD Healey. The hole that is open on yours has a rubber plug on min=
e and your pluged hole is open. It would make sense the speedo cable routin=
g for RHD drive cars uses the hole normally pluged for LHD cars.

I have just taken a photo of my restored RHD BJ7 with speedo cable but not =
gearbox tunnel installed.=C2=A0 The speedo cable falls naturally in a posit=
ion to pass through the right hand hole in the gearbox tunnel.=C2=A0 My cab=

It would make sense for the cable to pass through the central hole in a LHD=
 car.

Shipping might be a bit spendy but I would throw in a used gas  cap.

re: "I wonder if the speedo cable=E2=80=99s routing was so far out of =
line that it needed a slight short cut to achieve its destination. My =
cable goes through a grommet to the left of the bottom left corner of =
the control box. Is that correct? Or should it take a more central =
route?"

Since the speedometer gearing is on the left/port side of the O/D =
housing--unless RHD cars are different--on a LHD car the cable has to =
make, in effect, a 'hard' 90deg left turn. Yet, besides the occasional =
glitch speedos in LHD cars work, well, OK (what matters is that routing =
isn't so drastic as to kink or bind the cable). I can't see any purpose =
for the optional hole as the speedo cable would make a more graceful, =
easier turn to the right in a RHD car. My LHD BN2 has its cable just =
wedged between the gearbox cover and the scuttle, unless I installed it =
wrong.

I can't imagine why any speedo cable would need to go through the =
scuttle/firewall, if that's what you mean by 'control box' (aka voltage =
regulator). Mechanical tach cables have to, though.

Looking back through my files, I have contradictory info on this. So, =
here goes=E2=80=A6..

=20

My car is a RHD MkII BT7 with a centre shift box. It thus has the fibre =
glass tunnel cover which, I gather, continued to the bitter end in =
=E2=80=9967.

=20

You may recall that I sent in a pic of my tunnel cover a few weeks back =
and asked if it was an original or a latterly made repro. Thankfully, =
you said that it was original but it was pointed out that it had an =
extra hole. See attached. As I interpreted it, the =E2=80=9Cextra =
hole=E2=80=9D is to the right and the correct way in is through the =
centrally located =E2=80=9Ccorrect routing for speedo cable=E2=80=9D.

=20

Assuming that is correct, I am led to wonder for what purpose some PO =

cable=E2=80=99s routing was so far out of line that it needed a slight =

Simon,

I have a fiberglass trans cover that is yet to be installed that came =
from another LHD Healey. The hole that is open on yours has a rubber =
plug on mine and your pluged hole is open. It would make sense the =
speedo cable routing for RHD drive cars uses the hole normally pluged =
for LHD cars.
