Default 62 speedometer cable color

What is the correct color of the speedometer cable sheathing on a 62 3-speed? A picture would be helpful if you have one.

NCRS Tech Manuel sez "grey vinyl sheathing." My 62 which Ive owned since 1967 the cable sheath is somewhat tannish white in color.

At the Sacramento NCRS Regional, there was a one-owner '62. The speedo cable sheath on that car was unmistakeably grey.

My early 62 has the black vinyl covering. Can you switch out the inner cable? My speedo needle bounces and make a little noise. The odometer works. Or should I send the replacement steel case cable back to CC. I want to be correct.

You can replace the cable core if your exterior casing is in good shape.
I ended up doing that with my Tach cable after a bad experience with a repo. NOW it works fine. Pilot Dan
