The Ford Barn

Well, it was just discovered that during a "clean-up" session last fall during the restore, the original speedometer cable was apparently tossed out.

The cable I will now need anyway must go from the "new" BW T-5 transmission, up to the back of the stock 1934 Ford speedometer.

Where would I get such a speedometer with the correct connections?
This is not the electronic transmission. (Henry did not have "electronics" in his cars as I recall.)

Thank you.

My local NAPA store can make speedo cables, you might ask there....if you have one nearby.

I think a stock 34 cable will work on the t5. I know the stock 1950 f1 cable cable worked on my truck

Stock cable hooked right up on my '48 F1.

I have a 36 coupe with a T5 and the stock 36 cable connected right up to the T5 mechanical speedo fitting.
