If it is of any use to you, I would glady make some pictures of the speedometer cable routing on my 1943 F15A. I has the civilian instrument cluster, but I'd say the routing for the later speedometer would be the same.

Hi Hanno,

That would be great! I've been trying to find the original routing for a long time now. Never found an existing one on any paddock vehicle I have looked at or found anything in a publication. The route I took was the best I could make to clear transfer case linkages, handbrake rods, clutch rods, brake master cylinder rods, and electrical items like the battery cable and chassis wiring.

I haven't taken it to be shortened yet so that information would help greatly to get the length right. Still cannot see how it can be done in 84" but always willing to keep an open mind.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
