C1 - Tach/Speedo Cable Lengths

[Brad K.]

Can anyone tell me the tach and speedo cable casing lengths for my '59 (270hp, generator drive with a BW T10) and if they should both have a wound steel exterior or vinyl/plastic cover.

My car came equiped with a vinyl covered tach casing length of 61" and a speedo steel cased length of 69 1/2"......I don't think either of them are correct.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad..
speedometer

59' 3-speed...steel case, 60 inches

4-speed...steel case, 62 inches

(auto-muncie)...steel, 68 inches
Tach

58-59 steel case,60 inches

A black case (replacement) for 58-62 may have been used?
I hope I'm correct on this one....for I have seen gray case cables on 60 -61's,however I'm sure black was correct.
