61. Bug-eye speedometer cable routing (score: 1)
Author: "James Pickard" <geowiz.sgy@cox.net>
Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 23:05:42 -0500
How do you route the speedometer cable on a bug-eye? The speedometer sits behind the bonnet hinge, so there isn't a hole in the firewall that gives a direct shot to it. I don't see any obvious way to

Maybe someone with a Datsun 5-speed conversion can answer this one for me. I'm almost done. In fact, after we bleed the clutch tomorrow it is time to fire it up and do a road test. The problem is the

It just occurred to me that if I turn the wheelbox around, with the wiper cable at the top instead of the bottom, the wipers will go the other way. Correct? Jim Pickard B9473298 ('65 Tiger) AN5L/1210

OK, now that I have the wipers and washers working, where do I get 9" wiper refills that fit a bug-eye? I've got three usable refills, but the wipers they are attached to makes them extend too long.
