wtt...speedwarning? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ap4573 · 04-16-2005, 06:51 PM

I purchased a speedwarning dash on e-bay that I soon discovered did not work, I was unable to get the speedwarning dail to move the dial. WIth my limited ability I dis-assembled the dash and discovered the cable from the dail to the dash was completely rusted. I have faith that someone out there with a factory truck tilt will wanna do some trading. I to have been told that the cable can be replaced but I have had no luck locating one?? (Of course i realize some cash to might be involved!) Just a thought

I bought the thing on a whim and really dont know a whole lot about it!! I dont believe there is a buzzer and know there is not a wiring harness.

It has the correct bezel, flex cable that is really rusty, the knob is cracked and indeed has the correct gauge with the second hand.

You Would See The Buzzer It Is Outside With The Wiring Harness. If You Can Shoot Some Pictures Of What You Have Then We Will Be Able To Tell You What Is Needed For It . Later,buddy

There is an aftermarket cable available for chevelles / camaroes that will work..its longer. There selling at about $30 from various suppliers.

I have a few of the nuts that hold the cable to the bezel if interested.

Basically the back of a speedwarning should have this stuff.

Note stud on back of plate...the wiring and the buzzer.
