Re: Speedo cable on 1938 square four

Hi Dave,
I have found the screw for the Speedo cable but it wont move--The screw slot is 'worn' which makes it more difficult to get a grip with a screwdriver ---Any Ideas--Can I get at it from inside the gearbox front cover?

Speedo cable on 1938 square four

How do you remove the speedo cable from the gearbox---Does it unscrew from outside or do you have to take off the end of the gearbox and undo it from inside?
