[Healeys] Speedo Cable and the washer

[R. Price Lindsay]

Having just gone through two (2) angle drives, a speedo rebuild and a
speedo cable, it has my understanding that there is no washer at the
speedo end of the cable but there is a copper washer between the angle
drive and the overdrive. I have heard that two (2) washers can be used
at the angle drive/od connection - is there a benefit to this and is it
suggested in all cases?

In other words, I have not put a washer at the speedo end and only one
washer at the angle drive.  Is this wrong?  Please tell me before I blow
up another $58.00 angle drive!

Thanks

It has been suggested that speedo wobble can be caused by the tip of
the cable going too far into the back of the speedo. On my cable the
distance between the shoulder on the cable head end to the tip is
approx. .33 in. How long should this distance be? And re the washer,
what size, id and od? Mine is a late BJ8, BTW.
