After a half hour of Googling I found the Vintage British Cables Canadian web site that had a reprint from a Smiths manual. The instrument end of the inner cable should protrude no more than 3/8ths of an inch from the outer sheath at the instrument end.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><a href="http://vintagebritishcables.com/images/ServiceInformation2.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://vintagebritishcables.com/images/ServiceInformation2.jpg</a></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I know I have seen this information somewhere else in the past, but I cannot find it among all the other trivia that is rattling around in my brain. Just thought you might be interested in the result of this google search. Besides the Vintage British Cable website has tach and speedo cables that are vastly superior to the Chinese crap we are getting from the usual suspects.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike MacLean<br></div></div></body></html>
