Title: RHD speedo cable query
Post by: Minijohn on November 15, 2020, 03:28:21 PM

Hi
I'm in the process of converting my LHD car to RHD. I've fitted a new speedo cable which at the moment emerges from the tunnel near the pedals.
Could someone with a RHD car tell me where it comes through the bulkhead into the front boot?
I don't want to drill a hole and then find it's in the wrong place.

Photos would be ideal

Thanks in advance

Hello. Are you still after dimensions/pictures for this? Only I am changing the Speedo cable in my rhd car this weekend so could take some pictures if you need them.

Hi
Thanks for the offer but I've sorted it.
I drilled a hole near the pedals so the speedo cable takes a gentle curve up/round to the speedo - seems to work fine

Still be great to add some photos and measurements in case someone else gets a similar problem.

Speedometer Cable Layout. The hole in the boot is 20mm. Hope this is of some use to someone, any questions shout up.

That is useful - I would never have imagined that's the route it took.
Thanks
