Is this speedometer cable routing correct?

[MickeyT]

Is this routing of the speedometer correct for a late model '31 CCPU or should it be through the ignition box?
Thanks

Here is a photo of the correct routing. The cable should be painted black.

Don't forget the rubber grommet in the firewall hole.

Thanks Greg. I got it but has to be the wrong one. The I.D. is way too big.

the speedometer cable rubber grommets in the firewall do have to big of a I.D. why ford did that is another mystery

Do the threaded ends paint also or stay natural?

Interestingly the RHD routing is different . The cable enters the car through an angled slot in the upper floor board . It does make a smoother run so I have done this route on my LHD cars .
