I have a friend that is putting a Borg Warner overdrive in his 31 coupe.

The speedometer cable extension that is with the overdrive is damaged. Does anyone know where we can find a new Speedo extension?

Any speedometer shop can make them.

My "A" has a Borg/Warner T5 transmission. When I purchased it 7 years ago the speedo did not work. I purchased a custom cable from Eddie Pruette in California and replaced the speedo gear in the rear end to the proper number of teeth; went from 19 teeth to 18 teeth which made the MPH and odometer spot-on. Eddie also makes some other custom Model A parts. His contact info: email- [email protected]; phone- 805-858-8450.

I did not know such was available. That speedo gear, it is in the O/D? You have the 21" wheel? About how much are these parts?

To Gene F. My wheels are 19"; the cable was approximately 10'. As for the cost and details it's best for you to contact Eddie Pruette (contact info in my post) for the cost and technical info. Good luck!
