re: "I wonder if the speedo cable’s routing was so far out of line
that it needed a slight short cut to achieve its destination. My
cable goes through a grommet to the left of the bottom left corner
of the control box. Is that correct? Or should it take a more
central route?"<br>
<br>
Disclaimer: I've not owned nor worked on a RHD car.<br>
<br>
Since the speedometer gearing is on the left/port side of the O/D
housing--unless RHD cars are different--on a LHD car the cable has
to make, in effect, a 'hard' 90deg left turn. Yet, besides the
occasional glitch speedos in LHD cars work, well, OK (what matters
is that routing isn't so drastic as to kink or bind the cable). I
can't see any purpose for the optional hole as the speedo cable
would make a more graceful, easier turn to the right in a RHD car.
My LHD BN2 has its cable just wedged between the gearbox cover and
the scuttle, unless I installed it wrong.<br>
<br>
I can't imagine why <i>any </i>speedo cable would need to go
through the scuttle/firewall, if that's what you mean by 'control
box' (aka voltage regulator). Mechanical tach cables have to,
though.<br>
