Title: Speedo cable for my 1959 Royal Enfield/Indian Chief project...
Post by: bullethead63 on March 19, 2014, 03:14:42 am
...anyone out there have a spare,or a part number?...it's the 5" Stewart-Warner/120 MPH model speedo,with rear wheel drive...photos to follow,if needed...probably a 54" cable,I believe...I have about 90% of the parts that I need to start my resto,just rounding up the last bits...cables,gaskets,etc...and no,Hitchcock's doesn't have one...thanks!

I still don't have the speedo for my Chief yet so I'm not sure of the hook up on the back.  But there has got to be something out there that will work.  Perhaps a universal Motion-Pro?

Hitchcock's has a nice,used,150MPH Indian S/W speedo right now...only 375 Pounds...with shipping,that would be around $600...eek!

The cable is 59" they used to have a new speedo in stock but as bullet says they're not cheap even used.  ERC

Thanks,Scottie and Roger...I'll try to find a 59" Stewart-Warner speedo cable...they should all use the same drive unit,no?Certainly a different cable from a 1959 Super Meteor or Constellation,which had a Smith's speedometer...

Hitchcocks has a complete cable #53395/1-4-11 for about $30.00.   ERC
