The interior speedo cable for my '31 Roadster recently snapped. In removing it from the cable housing, it measures about 65 3/8" in length. I have a Bratton's repro for the '30-'31, and the interior cable for it measures about 61.75" in length.
I note that Snyder's sells a replacement inner cable only, which measures 61.50" in length.
Other than the cable ends being different for the '28-'29s, relative to the '30-'31s, were they both of the same length?
If I use the Bratton's repro with its cable housing, the shorter length than what I had in the car will make it difficult to use the cable clamp on the frame, and still have enough length to reach the torque tube. Was a longer cable ever used?
