Speedometer cable bracket

I am replacing the speedometer cable in my truck and on the old cable there was a bracket around the outside of the cable, but it was just hanging there.

Does anyone know where this bracket should be attached to. It has one hole for a bolt or nut in it. It is the angled bracket like what is shown in this picture.

Re: Speedometer cable bracket

My truck has a stud in the firewall the bracket is attached to. I can take a closer look at it later today if you can't find it.

Sounds good, I will take a look tonight after work. Where is it in relation to the brake booster?

Re: Speedometer cable bracket

The stud is directly below the steering column, on a metal bracket about 5 inches down.
