Default speedometer cables
Has anyone used the aftermarket / cheaper parts store, speedometer cables without issues ? I have an 82 and need to replace both cables, the GM ones are around 75 and cheaper one half that. Wondered if anyones used them without issues...

I bought one off Ebay. I haven't had any trouble with it for almost two years now. I think it sold for less than $ 30.00 including shipping.
