Speedo cable

[Bluesnailman]

This is an odd one (to me at any rate). The speedo cable drive point in the front hub keeps popping out. I've pulled and resat the cable a couple of times, but there doesn't appear to be any mechanical fixing, just a push fit. The cable also seems to be really long and loops down under the cab.

So, common problem with an easy fix, or do I have the wrong cable and end fixing?

It worked fine until I put futbus disks on, so wonder if related to that, or just because I took things apart and put them back together again.

Thanks

Have you been putting the circlip on the hub end?

 

[Bluesnailman]

You can see the slot in the pic on the link where the circlip goes to stop the cable pulling out
Below the description there is the circlip too for 50p

thanks guys. screwfix miltipack for £2.20 gave me enough circlips to last a few brake pad changes

The circlip is the same as the one on the shaft of an old style fuel pump...if you have one of those lying around next time!

I have had to remove my dustcaps to run Java Kosmics on a KLP beam.
I have just bought some needle files so I can drill a hole in my centre cap and file the hole square to run the speedo cable.
Trouble is, I can't find it, I think it must have gone back up in to the casing.

Has anyone got an exploded diagram of the speedo cable route as I want to get my speedo working again.
