Drew -- cables shouldn't fail after briefly working... before you
install a new cable check to see if your speedo is binding or even
bound-up. You should be able to spin the innards by inserting something
squareish in the back of the speedo (end of an old cable, or I have used
a small Phillips screwdriver). If it binds it will snap your new cable too.
For future reference you can probably find a place locally that will
replace the insides of the cable for about 10 or 15 bucks -- not
necessary to buy a new housing if you have a good one. You just take
them the old houing and they make a new cable to the correct length and
fitment.
Sorry, can't answer the OD question you asked.
