Default speedo cable grommet- found info to split it per Steve

I have the original mid-late round speedo cable and both ends are bigger than the rubber grommet in the firewall. How do you install the cable from the speedo, along the firewall and little clamp, and then through the grommet to reverse and go back to the torque tube?

Seems like this is a sharp bend as well. I did search posts, but the grommet must need to be cut or something or stretched a lot?

thanks


question answered.

I don't know if this is right or not, but on mine, the grommet is cut. I can't see any way of stretching it to get over the fittings.

Hi, using Steve's info, I just put a headlight grommet over the end of the speedo cable. It works !
