[Healeys] speedometer Cable BJ8

[David P]

The most common fault with the angle drives (once they've failed) is the 
short drive is spinning inside the gear drive shaft.They can be 
disassembled (very fiddly job) and I solder the cable into the shaft. If 
the squared end is rounded off the short cable must be replaced. Putting 
a finger load on this may not always reveal the spinning.. just saying, 
use pliers to hold ends.. MOMA can supply you with new short pieces..
