I spent a few hours hunched over my computer looking for a speedo cable last night and found a great big fat zero. I am guessing I have the origianl 240 4 speed manual. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And btw this site is the best I have found so far on the Z.

Hi JT:

See http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13638&page=1&pp=15&highlight=Mack+Speedo+cable Post #1 and #20 Our member ChrisA provided that info.

Vb sells them, $25 or so. MSA probably also caries them.

Thanks for the quick replies. I just bought my 240 in January so VB and MSA are???

Victoria British http://www.victoriabritish.com/ and Motor Sport Auto www.zcarparts.com Probably the two most plentiful parts resources.

MSA lists P/N #45-4101 for $79 (catalog printed 3 years ago)

V/B lists P/N69-100 for $19.95 (newest ctatalog 2005 Winter)

Bet there is a difference in quality as well.

I have the one from VB-different from the OEM piece-I'll post a picture of the oem and the VB pieces here a little later tonight(The boy is home, and a hunting/layout trip to the Zroom will require Mom to watch him when she gets home from work.)

Here are the pictures of the speedometer cables, obvious quality differences between them, the OEM unit has a spring wound about 18" to keep the cable out of trouble, both ends are metal, and there was a rubber seal to keep dirt out of the cable.

It is too dark for good pictures, I will take more in the morning if that will help.

If the offering from MSA is OEM, that's what I will do when this one goes away.

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know when I get it in... or when I don't and ask for help
