[Healeys] Smitty Speedo cable

Some of my experiences with the hybrid cable:

 

Nisonger made mine - any speedo shop should be able to. They'll need the
exact length.

 

I originally made do without the Toyota angle connector on the trans, but
the cable died in a year - too much of a bend exiting the trans.

 

You may also need your speedo recalibrated to the gear drive in the Toyota
trans. Nisonger has a pdf on how to measure the rotations of the speedo
cable when pushing the car through 52 ft 9-1/2".

 

IMHO you should also make sure the Toyota trans mount centering bolt is
riding on the leading edge of the hole so the engine won't move forward
under braking.
