  • Replace gauges for one with a tachometer. Need new speedometer cable.

    So I got a gauge cluster with a tach on it. However the speedometer is located on the right rather than the center like the OEM one,

    I reconnected the cable and put the dash back together. Well it was a tight squeeze because the the cable was pressing on the metal behind it and it bent the cable slightly.

    Well yes you guessed it, the cable broke on the first test drive.:angry5:

    So I was wondering:

    1. Does anybody have a spare speedometer cable for an 89 Festy?

    2. Is there a way to re-route the cable so it works without bending?

    Also, it seems that the tach only goes up to 4000RPM or so before I have to shift. But the red line is around 6000.

    Please help guys.
