My speedometer is getting a little jittery and I figure it's about time to lubricate it before it breaks and I have to replace it. I know that a few of the corvette parts vendors sell the lubricant, but I can't justify spending $10 in shipping for a $5 part. Are there any other options or should I just wait until I have a larger order already?
I see that they sell the cable in both the org 2 piece cable and a 1 piece cable. what's the best way to go? I need to purchase a new cable for my frame off.. I have been looking at both ways but have not seen any talk about this.

One piece for no cruise control, 2 piece for cruise control.

Graphite is my favorite lubricant for speedo and tach cables. Some like white lithium, but greasy lubricants have a tendency to get gummy over time and cause problems.
