Back in the day, every town had a small shop that did speedometer work...even our's! So it's hard to imagine that I've called a dozen places, shopped on line and not having any luck finding a place that can make me a 90" long cable that will fit a stock Bronco speedo gauge and the other end fit a NP205 (D20 is same).

My 88" long Atlas speedo cable is the right length...but of course only fits the Atlas...

Any ideas?

Brian, do you need a cable shorter or longer than stock?

I had these guys make a speedo cable that had the Bronco cluster on one end and the Mustang VSS on the t-case end. It's also a little longer than stock. They're local to me so I was able to show them what I wanted done.

Thanks all...I just got in from the shop to eat...heading right back out, but will contact these guys tomorrow.

IF I could get an end that was VSS and I could fit it in the 205...ideal as I would have a more accurate input for my Baumann controller...

Jaromy...I need 90-92" which is quite a bit longer than stock.

Close!! :)

4r70W/KluneV/205

im also cutting over towards the gas pedal area to go thru the firewall and down along the drivetrain since there's zero room in the original location (tire) is within 3/4" of the floor.

Copy. I sourced this one when I did my ZF swap. It was cheap and had plenty of length for my setup. It's only 83" so won't work for your needs, but you could try finding another stock truck cable that could work.
