  I was searching for information on Google about the recommended length =
the inner tachometer cable should protrude from the outer sheath at the =
instrument end as I am replacing the cable on my Bugeye.  The tachometer =
stopped working halfway home from the mechanic (R&R the Datsun =
transmission for bad synchros).  The very end of the inner cable broke =
off in the gear reduction drive unit at the back of the generator.  =
Before installing the new cable I seemed to remember that there was a =
caveat on how much the inner drive cable should protrude to prevent =
damage to the tachometer.  Too long and it would damage the instrument.  =
No telling where the repros are made these days.  I finally found the =
info from a reprint of an old Smiths manual on the Vintage British Cable =
web site. http://vintagebritishcables.com/images/ServiceInformation2.jpg =

Lots of good info on this Canadian web site besides they make superior =
OEM style cables instead of the (Chinese) foreign crap we are used to =
from the usual suspects.
