Default Driver side vent cable

Gents

This doesn’t look right. Vent cable interferes with odometer reset if you can see it. I don’t think i can bend the vent cable bracket as it looks to be pot metal. Should it be moved more to the left? AIM not clear where mounted





Vent cable rubs against odometer reset

Looks to me like you've got a bracket flipped 180* out.
The trip meter reset should be on the passenger side of the column.

Good deal! Frankie's bracket is a neat idea.
