It will be interesting to hear what Michael R has to say.
It could be that your cable comes from a later carrier and was slightly re routed (factory re design) requiring a longer cable. Btw. the British speedo is different from the Canadian and this might account for the difference. I cannot remember if the fittings are the same. The 1/4 inch thick rubber gasket behind the dash panel was introduced to help reduce speedo cable failure and also to help reduce the risk of wiring shorts. I read this somewhere. No recall on where.

I measured the diameter of the cable this morning, and I get 3.5mm diameter.
Thinking about removing the ferrules off the ends and trying to find a length of same diameter cable...
