[TR] TR6 Speedo Cable Broken

> Anyone had any problems caused by the right angle drive?

Actually, my first thought was "How do you know it wasn't the angle drive
that failed ?".  My experience has been that they are much more fragile than
the cable.

Also FWIW, my latest Stag had just had a new angle drive fitted when I
picked it up.  Speedo worked great for the first hour or so, then quit.
Later investigation showed the angle drive was sheared.  The speedo head
still worked, I'm certain a drill motor would have turned it fine (tho I
didn't try), but spinning it with a small screwdriver and my "calibrated"
fingers said it was too stiff.  Yet another angle drive, different speedo
head ... it's still working several years later.

So, two points :
1) It may take more than a couple of minutes for the dry bushing to heat up
enough to notice.
2) The angle drive will transmit far less force than your drill motor.
