Dropped spindles and mech. accelerator cable
If you run CB dropped spindles, do you need a different mech. accelerator cable or can you buy a fitting for it, or am i an idiot and i should be able
to fit as is.
Any direction as to how to connect these. Are they different on dropped spindles??
Cheers!

Hi
The cable holes is always on the left side, RHD or LHD, they just use different speedo cables for RHD or LHD.

depending when you got the dropped spindles - i have a feeling that on a bunch of them the hole for the speedo cable didnt show all the way through
and required finishing.
i may be wrong. thats if you were having trouble finding the hole.

the hole kind of looks too big, but am unsure. I will need to play some more. Thanks for suggestions, they help when looking at the thing.
