RE: [doc] Angle drive hell

["lawther" <lawther@xxxx>]

My speedo has never worked and I have yet to investigate it. All I know is
that I have a speedo cable which the previous owner obtained and he said it
is the wrong one, so I guess it is spare. It is 675mm long (flange to
flange on the sheath), but I don't know if it is upper or lower.

Woohoo!!

Well, after getting 1274 on bricks I used my only trolley jack under the end
of the spanner to jack it up. It was compressing the spring by a good half
inch!

Finally after four attempts the angle drive gave up its grip and is off,
along with the completely seized lower speedo cable
I think I bent it a bit in the process, so it may not be refurbishable - so
I might need a new one....

Now what's the score on lower speedo cables? Is there a cross that fits, or
is it DeLorean specific? In which case does anyone have one they'd like to
sell me? :)

Ah, now thatâ??s the kind of info I need more of.

I had all kinds of plans to buy/make/repair it. For 35 quid that solves a
problem :)

Today weather permitting the fight commences again, expect the Derbyshire
air to be blue for a while!
