[T3] Speedometer Nonsense

[Keith Park]

If there's a piece of broken cable lodged in the speedo, all the new 
ones will break until that peice is removed...

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered.
Doe the cable break in the same spot each time? If so, where? Max Welton

in there now. There were no tight spots and there was no binding. I guess
whatever is amiss is further inside.
