Need to replace speedometer cable on 1928 Dictator

[deburt65 10]

I have the housing for my Dictator, but the core is missing. Does anyone know if I can use a universal kit to make the core, or will I have to have a specialty shop make one up??? The end going into the head appears to be just a square while the end going into the transmission will need a wing, or flat piece on the end. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a 1932 Stude and I used a FOMOCO universal speedo core, worked fine. If your speedometer head unit takes a square end drive, it should fit. You have to cut the cable to the correct length and crimp the gear drive end on IIRC. I think most speedometer cable cores are the same diameter.
