Hi Steve
The cable is a CB only thing, longer than a beetle.
Get some 6mm black polly air line and use it to find th length, then get your cable man to make you one up. That's the best bet.

Thanks Tony
Is there an obvious way or defined way the cable runs?
Anyone with a diagram or photo?

Cheers

I just measured my speedo cable. It has a casing length of 2500mm exactly. I recon this one will do the job.
Bus (right hand drive only) 68 - 79 2520 long C24-214-957-801-H

Thanks Tony
You have been a great help again. Always contributing and I appreciate the efforts to answer practically.

FYI the indicator switch from cip1 Was too small for the steering shaft diameter.
