[Mgs] MGB speedo cable path

[Bob Howard]

Hi Ed,
   Moss catalogue shows the right-angle drive for the type LH overdrives,
but my '72 GT did not have one when I bought it a decade back and seems
happy w/o the right-angle drive. 
   Mine passes is routed parallel to the gearbox, rises at the bell
housing, passes through the firewall just below the right (passenger)
side of the heater box in the  \____/   section (looking straight down)
of the firewall.   I don't know that that is the factory-installed
position, but it works well enough there.
Bob
