Tacho Drive Cable

Post by Chug-A-Lug »

When I took on the 64 S. Dexta the drive cable was not attached at the injector pump end, after some fiddling I got it sorted but now it's given up the ghost again. The tacho end is mangled anyway and it was a bit touch and go.

Anyway, I think it's actually too short as it was a bit of a stretch even after I took the tacho cowl away and sat it straight in the dash to get it a bit closer to the pump.

I made enquiries today with Agriline as I thought I had seen two different lengths listed elsewhere depending on age. Agriline tell me that only one length is available and it's 35 inches.

I took mine off today and it's 84cm (33 inches). Although that tells me that mine is probably too short somehow, I don't think 2 inches will make up the depth of the cowl if I reinstated it.

Could anyone shed some light on this little mystery please?
