Re: Speedo cable lengths . .? . .

- I would like to measure it but the truck is in storage right now , it's winter here in Michigan

- The LMC page doesn't help any, but thank you for trying

- I currently have a metal housing , so hopefully 72" it is!

Thanks all

Strange, LMC doesn't even sell a 72". But an "Up to 80". Guess the "guide" doesn't help. eh

I do appreciate the help but no that LMC page does not help me at all. And if you base your whole build off from LMC , I think the speedo cable would be the least of the problems

Never implied that you didn't appreciate the help, just that you asked for a guide - LMC provided one. If 72" is what you need, then LMC's guide is correct - an up to 80". eh
