MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - custom speedo cable

My conversion is finally moving forward and I need a speedo cable for a LT77 rover box to the stock 77 speedo. Who can make me one of these.

You can buy these from several of the well know mg spares suppliers, i got mine from Midlands sports and classics in the UK. the website is mgpartsuk.co

Give them the dimension of the Speedo end entry drive, there are several sizes available.

I purchased a speedometer cable and ratio adapter from

ACI Engineering
6728 Lovers Lane
Portage, MI 49002
269-327-1991

Sent my original cable to ACI Engineering. They built be a new cable which allowed me to connect my original speedometer to a right angle ratio adapter and then to the transmission
