Speedometer/Tach Cable Lubricator
I'm working on my guages. I have 3 of the four center guages working now (don't care about the clock) and need to order the tach circuit board to correct the 2x readings I get now. I was going to place my order today, but saw in my Mid-America Motorworks catalog the speedo cable lubricator. I was just wondering if anyone has used one and if it worked. My speedo bounces and the add claims to fix that.
I just figured that if it worked I'd fix that guage at the same time. That would just leave the fuel gauge.

Re: Speedometer/Tach Cable Lubricator (Ak. Mal)
Ok, here's the deal. Upon futher investigation, I could buy this tool for $15.99. A tool that I would use only once or twice in my lifetime. OR, I could buy a new speedometer cable for $17.99.
Decision, you have to be a tool to buy this tool.

Re: Speedometer/Tach Cable Lubricator (Ak. Mal)
I would pull out the old speedo cable, give it a cleaning and then coat it with lithium grease. (even cheaper still) It worked for me and has never worked its way into the speedo itself. I figure I am good for another 24 years before I have to do it again. I did the graphite thing and it didn't last long for me. In fact it hardened on to the cable and I had to clean all that crap off before I re-installed.
