Speedo Cable RS 2000

[Gows]

Please can someone point me in the right direction to where I can get a brand new one.

I have tried Ford & the local spares supplier with no luck!

Hope someone can help... Thanks

They are available from the Ford Dealers I had one recently it was £10 ish and dry packed so needs lubricating before fitting

can find the cod ebut on the cable are

75AB 17260 AU & 14 10 02 (date produced?)

Thanks for your responses :compress:

Brian,

all I can say is the Ford dealers you use are 10 times better than the ones over here.

Thanks again

Where are you based Gows?

[Gows]

An update on this,

I went back to the local Ford dealers (in Blackpool Dermot) armed with my part numbers from Brian, they have them in stock as you rightly said and I pick it up tomorrow, fingers crossed it will be the correct one but shall be taking the original cable with me to compare.

Thanks for your help once more

[Banishit]

if they have that part coding you can be safe its the right one

Brian

they have clutch cables too, cant get new throttle cable though unless someone knows better ???

please NOTE they are dry packed so need lubricating before fitting

as I made this mistake and ruined one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Brian your a saint

I'm suprised you had trouble if you're from Blackpool. The RS dealer there was Thomas Motors and they were very knowledgable. Does anybody know the Finis no for the clutch cable any help would be grateful. Many thanks Garth.

[Banishit]

to be honest the copies this club has are better as they are longer

cant find the code for the Clutch cable at the mo

if you get stuck getting the exact right clutch, throttle and speedo cables for the old mk1's and 2's ect just get a speedo cable for a pinto'd sierra or the throttle cable from a petrol transit.

they might be a bit longer but in my case i needed a speedo cable which i could re-route away from my manifold because the original one melted!

hope this helps

Thomas Motors closed down unfortunatley about 10years ago and sold all the old stock when they went.

Seems to me Fords round here are not interested unless you have the correct info and give them hassle!

As soon as you mention MK2 Escort, they seem to have the same answer "I will look on the data base & phone you back" NOT!

I'm sure it's like this all round this country nowadays, unless someone knows any different?
