I'm having a bit of a problem with a replacement speedo cable - it is a T5 gearbox from a Sierra Cosworth but is going to an aftermarket speedo (it's in a Fisher Fury kit car), mine is a metal surround like these:

The part I have received is like this:

The OD is pretty much identical to the socket on the speedometer itself and therefore won't fit.

Some digging indicates it may be a standard Sierra cable rather than a Cosworth but I'm not entirely sure? Does anyone know more than me about this?

Thanks

The one you have received in the diagram is for 4wd MT75 box saph/escort Cosworth

 

I see, thanks a lot. The one I bought was this:

Which looks correct - so that pic is for a T5 and the plastic ones with the click are for an MT75. Odd that the gearbox end isn't the bit that changed even though the gearbox governs the type!

 

If you mean the speedometer end it will fit although they look totally different they do work

 

Yes indeed I mean the speedo end, at the end of the day I guess the spinny bit just connects to the other spinny bit by whatever means (if we're getting technical ) - Thanks for the info
