I'm replacing my speedometer cable and have run into a problem....1930 Town Sedan with an oval Northeast speedo. The threads on my new cable on the speedometer end are male threads, but my Northeast speeometer requires female threads on the cable housing. Has anyone run into this?

Thanks
Mark

The oval Northeast speedometer uses a cable assembly that is unique to that speedometer. Those units are rare, I only have one for parts in the shop and no cables. When I get to the shop I will check the size of the square drive of the input, you may be able to use a "standard " inside cable in your housing.
