Subject: [Healeys] re my previous Speedo query and angle drive question

Reference my previous question on (dead) speedos....

Once again, many thanks for all the replies and data.

Now, I did spot an angle drive going cheap on eBay and just resisted buying
it. (Is it just me or does anyone else throw new parts at a problem until it
goes away?)

I raised the tunnel cover and got to the angle drive.

The speedo cable was broken about 4in up from the angle drive. So that much
is solved.

Do these things often break? Mine doesn't do many miles and I don't think I
was stressing it by, for example, having it at too acute an angle.

And should the angle drive be removed and serviced(?) in any way whilst it's
accessible?

I presume that one just loosens off the round brass cross-hatched threaded
wotsit and the drive just comes off?

Simon.
