1930 AA Speedometer Cable Predicament

Post by spdway1 »

My AA is an early 30 with an oval speedometer and the new (1930) running gear. I can not find the correct original 5:14 speedo gear for my truck. They make a new 5:14 gear but the longer AA cable that fits it is for the round speedometer, so the gear ends are different.

I think I need to find who makes the cables and have a custom one made, what are you ideas?

Thanks you for your time. 8)

One of our forum members might have one of those. I'll look through my box of speedo cable drive gears.

Spdway1,

I can make the new 5.14 speedo driven gears to fit the square or tang drive speedo cables.

I'm not sure, but I thought I saw in Snyders a special cable for this issue. Just a thought.

I am working with Snyders now to resolve this issue now for two days, hopefully Monday I will know what direction I will know what to go in.
