[TR] Wrapped around the ,,,,

I wrote last night about the steering binding on my TR6.  Got some suggestions of what might have caused it.  They were right.  First, some wires not even hooked up to anything somehow got wrapped around the steering column.  Darned if I know how!  Then they got the tach. cable involved.  It's ruined.  It's also wound tightly around the column where it goes through the firewall.  That's going to require some daylight and a good pair of pliers because it is wound very tightly --- it's ugly.  
All I can say is no wonder the tach face was displaced.  If it were Saddam's head it would have come off and fell at my feet..  I did get the spaghetti unwound except for the tach cable.  I wonder, could it have affected the speedometer cable also?
We'll see.
Anyway, thanks for the clues.
