Guest Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Don't forget to lubricate the cable before inserting it in the casing. But only lube the bottom third. This keeps the lubricant out of the speedo head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) According to the big parts book - in the United Motors Service section, a 1928 series 115 outer cable is 62 1/8" long (with the ends attached). www.restorationstuff.com should have all the parts you need to make a new one. See page 50. The length may help someone digging for an old one as well.

Hubert_25-25 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I found more in the big book. Casing - Speedometer 62 1/8" 1928 ser 115 65 5/8" 1928 ser 120-128 Cable - speedometer 63 1/8" 1927 ser 120-128, 1928 ser 115 66 5/8" 1928 ser 120-128 So for you, the inner cable is built 1" longer than the outer casing.

bigvic Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hello, I replaced my wire inside the cable. I had a post on June 11-15 that may help. BV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I have an outer casing that I believe is for a 1928 Ser 120-128. PM me if you are interested. Hugh Scratch that, Sorry. The cable is not for a Buick. Edited October 5, 2016 by gr8success wrong information given (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
