RE: IML: speedo cable for 1960 Imperial

["Ernie Stepney" <estepney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Robert:
The lower cable is Autopilot specific and about twice the diameter as
the non autopilot cable. Check with local instrumentation professionals,
they may be able to point you in the direction of somebody who can make
up a new cable.

Thanks a lot Paul!

I will have a look at Ebay first (or other internet stores). If I can't
find anything that suits me I will get back at you.
Btw, the weather in Holland is perfect at the moment so this weekend I
will take a couple of pics to show you what my car looks like :)
I know I have promise them to you a long time ago, but it was raining
all
the time here!

Finally we got perfect hot weather here at the moment so this weekend
will
be the perfect moment to send you some pictures!

All the best and thanks again,


Robert
