Title: speedometer Cable Post by: jimcburgh on August 03, 2021, 05:47:06 PM Hi All,
I own an LHD (Left-hand drive) 1978 Beta 1600 and in a recent repair, the speedometer cable broke. Can an RHD cable be used to replace the broken unit? Thanks, Jim Title: Re: speedometer Cable Post by: Nigel on August 03, 2021, 07:39:26 PM Hi Jim,
Yes, however it's a bit longer, so you'll need to support it somehow. Nigel Title: Re: speedometer Cable Post by: jimcburgh on August 05, 2021, 07:50:36 PM Thank you Nigel. I hope to get my hands on the original part tomorrow and will measure it.

Title: Re: speedometer Cable Post by: squiglyzigly on August 06, 2021, 07:14:18 AM Ooooo I didn’t know Mark had those. I need to check if it will fit my S2 Berlina.
Does anyone know the difference between early/late/coupe/berlina etc? Cheers Ian Title: Re: speedometer Cable Post by: SanRemo78 on August 06, 2021, 09:17:15 AM If it doesn't fit and you have an old one then Speedy Cables will be able to remanufacture them. Just a case of time waiting I think!

Does anyone know the difference between early/late/coupe/berlina etc? Cheers Ian The fitting at the speedo end changed with the facelift. I think RHD ones are all the same length....

I would have thought the RHD and LHD length differences would be significant and make using a RHD somewhat difficult to 'lose' the extra length. Peter Title: Re: speedometer Cable Post by: WestonE on August 06, 2021, 06:27:41 PM Later Speedos have a plastic clip on cable early are aluminum screw on
