Source for short speedo cables?
 

Hi folks, I'm looking for a source for short/custom length speedometer cables. I need a set for my columbia rectifier, but can't come up with the cables anywhere! I picked up the speedometer rectifier box by itself, and cables are hard to come by/people want an arm and a leg for them. I thought about picking up 2 standard length cables, but they're 70-ish inches long, and that's way too much to tie up, hence the need for shorter/custom cables.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Try Rusty from Speedometer Service in Colorado. I guy I know who sells gauges recommended him. I've never used him, but will be shortly.

I'd recommend talking to Rusty at http://www.speedoservice.com/home.html.
I had a short custom length cable made to go from my Columbia speedo "transmission" to the turtle on the torque tube last year. The cable was exactly what I wanted, excellent quality and was shipped very quickly, all very reasonable.
