Just go to CarQuest or Napa and ask to see the speedo cable book. Figure out what length and ends and have them order it for you based on the illustrations/descriptions in the back.

Oh, your revealed sig doesn't note that you are out of the country-sorry. What exactly do you need?

Your question should be worded: I have this type of tranny and this type of speedo with a standard vette length. Where can I get a cable?

Thanks guys, there was someone who posted link to a company which makes just what I need I just can't find the link. I need two cables, one from ultra lite to a Richmond tranny and one from a pro comp to Th400. :cheers:

would this work for you?It can be cut to fit your length also.This will at least fit the turbo 400.
