<<Had hoped that an annoying habit of the speedo needle to fluctuate in about 
10 mph degrees while
driving would be sorted out upon reassembly. Not so. I do have a TR4 trans. 
Is that the cause? Or is is simply a fault with the speedo, in which case, is 
it easy to sort out? Thanks, Tom Bottman>>
Tom
could it be the cable is kinked a little along the line somewhere (or lacks 
lubrication throughout the inside cable) sounds like it's 'binding up then 
letting loose' resulting in the 'bouncing needle' syndrome. May want to dunk 
entire cable in oil and then route as smoothly as possible...
