Interesting note about not finding a speedometer cable on any truck in Australia. Either they were in short supply so every Blitz was stripped off it, or seeing most of the Blitz' are used as paddock bashers, tree sniggers or whatever you call them, there was no need for a speedometer!

Hi Hanno,
I think that is it, also maybe removed to prevent fouling during an engine change and never put back. Also in the case of F-15's and F-15A's you can add missing handbrake cables going to the backing plates to prevent fouling on stumps. Hydraulic brake lines also go missing. Bolt cutters seem to be the weapon of choice in all cases.
Thanks. As researchers say, go to the source. Nothing beats measuring and sighting an original, be it a part or a document.
Cheers,
