Phil Read Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 The speedo on my 250 has never had a trip cable. I have removed the speedo and attach photos of the rear. Before I purchase one, how does it fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) The bit that goes into the instrument has a clawed plastic ferrule to retain it in the double slot hole. The inside cable part of the trip fits to the brass thing in the hole. The thumb nut and outer casing are secured to something under the dash below the speedo Can be seen in this pic Edited October 10, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Read Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Thanks for the prompt reply. It appears the bracket to which the cable end fits under the dash is missing but thats easily remedied. Tried moss and rimmers but they are out of stock. Has any one any idea who supplies, or do other models fit eg MGB etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Sadly I think it is common to Jaguar. Try Speedy Cables or Renown they may have used/refurbed. Revington offer it at slightly under the national debt of a small African nation, which is probably the Jag price. here is an used one in n wales. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335027643387?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-153316-527457-8&mkcid=2&itemid=335027643387&targetid=4585032215660915&device=t&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=554648192&mkgroupid=1302922387078119&rlsatarget=pla-4585032215660915&abcId=9323209&merchantid=87779&msclkid=c8074dd1be9f1c847e3428f470d7977a might trip to 20 mph max though……… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Read Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Thanks for that. I checked out Revington and found a second hand one at a reasonable price, unfortunately they will not post anything under £30. I have bought the jag one, at that price its worth the risk. I can always get rid of the extra lenght. Thanks once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats not very helpful, presumably new policy as Ive not had that problem with them. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ricky30dk Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi Phil, Andy is right - I do have a few new ones - you can have one for the price of the postage from Denmark (£15). Send me a PM if interested. cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
