    i had one on my ol mini once do to the webber sitting inside the firewall and was too close to the back of the speedo, causing a severe kink and snapping.

    i can't remember what it came off but it exactly but i think it was a land rover, i know they wanted a ridiculous price for a new one, but fortunately they had a second hand one for $50

    Does it need to be that sharp an angle as the MX83 Cressida has a right angle speedo drive. Not the best shot, but this gives you an idea.



    BTW, what gearbox are you looking for this to fit?

    Yeah cressy has a sweeping bend..pretty nice too.. i think in earlier versions of the mx83 there may have been a 90 degree one like you posted OP.

    I don't remember any Austin-Healey or MG that didn't have one, but they have the squared-cable & female threaded collar for input,square hole& male thread output.

    Also, Taxi cabs would have 1 or 2 on their meters.

    thanks for the suggestions guys. its going into a A340 out of a soarer that i've put in a MA70 supra. i've been looking for a MX83 cressida one for ages but no-one seems to have one. so i've found a mechanical drive from another car which fits the gearbox but i just don't have enough room for the cable.
