Yep - a new cable fixed my 408 speedo

Bought from Bristol Cars for about £20 and a piece of wee to fit - Just attach to the old one with gaffa tape a pull it through.

I think the old one would have been fine if I had made a plasticine funnel and let some light oil soak through overnight before reattaching to the speedo head.

I use the old cable with a cordless variable speed drill to test other speedo's. It's the only time I have had a Bristol speedo to 150 MPH !
