Im in need of a two piece speedo cable for a 86 irocz its actually ONE piece but it has a section that looks like its connected togather. kinda like an extention of some sort. But its more than likely one piece. i tried taking it apart and it does not come apart. Mine melted it was hitting the exhaust manifold. Thanks. I have paypal. send me a picture if possible. irocz350@gmail.com

Ahh the old header heat....should have wrapeped it with heat resistant tape or cloth! been there done that! Actually the one piece one is the stock equipment but when you replace them they sell you two, at least that`s how mine ended up.
I have one that is practically new (has the junction just outside the firewall) It already has some heat tape on it and spins flawlessly. I took it out of the car 4 years ago when I made this a track only car. PM`d you details about selling it

Why not simply replace it with a new one-piece cable?

THANKS JAMES C. but the reason is that the original factory cable is i bit thicker than the 8.00 one at autozone. I tried it before and the cable keeps coming out of the speedo gear in the trans. I actually bought ANOTHER 8.00 cable today and ill see if it works. wont know till i get up to speed sometime on sunday. it moved and worked ok in my driveway. (i live on 5 acres so i got it up to about 20mph) before i would be able to stop before i get to the barn. thanks.
