    Longer speedo cable

    This is probably a really lame/easy question but here goes...what speedo cable should I get for my MKII RS? I've heard that if I get a longer one it can be re-routed so my - Ashley - exhaust doesnt melt it again.

    Thanks!

    St Albans eh? Someone else with an RS in Hertfordshire - Cool Is it white?

    Lincolndanny advised me to get a sierra one from Halfords, it worked a treat. However it was a dicontinued product and I got the last one for £2.50. Cheers Dan

    Thanks...I'll try Ford for one...

    Funny you should say that it is white, a MKII RS2000. A few modest mods namely: Kent cam, injection head, 205 engine rebored, 45's, ashley, lowered, retrimmed.

    And I must put some money aside to get a digital camera.

    Cheers
    Eddie.

    You didn't happen to drive past a yellow RS parked on a drive in Welwyn Garden City on Saturday did you?

    Knowing Ford they probably didn't change their speedos much until the electric ones came in. Therefore, just about any late 70s/early 80s speedo will be fine.
