We make cables to suit your application. We do not keep any speedo or tacho cables in stock as cables have a short effective shelf life. Apart from an obvious break which happens for a reason, we can explain how to test your inner cable which may explain why your speedo or tacho wavers particularly at low speed.
Speedo & Tacho Cables
We hand make speedometer and tachometer cables to sample or specification and can incorporate a ratio box or electronic sensor if necessary.

angle drives
We manufacture any speedometer and tachometer cables to sample or specification. We make some throttle cables and have push-pull cables manufactured to sample or specification.
chronometric cables
Chronometric Instruments may be configured for clockwise or anti clockwise drive. It is important to use the correct angle drive and for the ratio to be such that the actual cable does not rotate any faster than 2500rpm otherwise it is likely to delaminate.
