In case anyone is interested in experimenting with a
piece of solid square stock, Onlinemetals.com has 1/8
square brass stock for $1.25 per foot:

No guarantees this will work. I'm just providing a
source if someone wants to try it...At their own risk

Bill, I have an original box and up until last week when I sold it a brand
new angle drive. The Part # is BG2401.11 By Smiths Instruments as you
said.
I still have a good angle drive with 21,000 miles on it.There is a picture
of the box and drive on the web site.

Subject: [DML] Replacement Angle Drive (For Right Hand Drive?)
Could well be. Entire engine is a replacement, so I wouldn't put it
past PO.
Does anyone know if replacement angle drives were once offered with
cables wound in wrong direction?
My housing is labeled "Smith Motor Accessories Ltd, England" Part
#862401/11.
Hey! Wait a minute! If my angle drive was designed for a speedo on
RIGHT side of car (driven by PASSENGER wheel), would be wound
correctly. Do I have a right hand drive angle drive?
BTW: Am having difficult time locating cable with 1/8" square end.
Even struck out at local truck repair facility. Have a backup idea
that should generate untold controversy... (watch this space...)
