Speedometer Cable question--1960 with AutoPilot

["Dave Grove" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark, if your 60 is like a 59, there is a place to lubricate the speedo
head.  Right where the cable hooks in, - there should be a small "cap".
They (the factory) put a little "wick" here with a dab of grease on it.  I
wish I had known about this before I broke 3 cables and a speedo gear a few
years back!
By the time I discovered this, - the speedo head was totally seized, and I
had to remove the speedo head and get it worked loose again.
As for the lube on the cables, - I use plain old wheel bearing grease.
Works great, and lasts a long time.

Regards,
DaveG.
