Speedo cable?

Isn't that an electronic speedo with a digital odo?  If so it shouldn't have a place for a cable to screw in but should use an analog to digital control box.

No it's not. The red one was.

This looks like what I need, a reducer. Anyone know what size?

Call VDO customer support. They should be able to help.

If the female end of the cable is too big for the male end of the gauge, a simple bushing should work.  Try the guys at Napa Auto Kapaa.

Thanks Jim, Ted & Gregg.

I just did a Google search on "vdo speedometer cable adapter" and got a ton of hits, mostly from Summit Racing, but a bunch of others, too.

I don't know exactly what you need, so figure that out and do a search to find it.

I did the same and it was overwhelming. NAPA was a waste of time...

And Autozone, and Advance Auto, and Carquest, and Pep Boys.........

An old friend of mine left Data General back in the early 1980's and wrote software that provided a way for auto parts stores to lookup parts for customers.  Trust me when I write this, Jeff was NOT a "car guy".  

But the REAL focus of his software was auto part store, chain-wide inventory management.

For that, it is terrific.  For me, on MY side of the counter, it sucks.

If I ever meet Jeff again, he is overdue for a swift kick in the nuts.  

Lol. I have NAPA and O'rielly on this little island. O'rielly tomorrow...

An old-fashioned hardware store with long-time staff and a good plumbing department, like Tanaka in Lihue, is worth a phone call.

Still no luck, The Harley shop next. Just need to know the thread sizes. VDO has not responded yet.
