Let me guess you have a Clubby.

I think you purchased a Roundy speedo cable

What is your car? Roundie? Clubbie? Leyland Mini? Modified dash? Stock?

There was three main types of cables and lots more different variations that will fit.

If you stretch the outer cable the inner will not reach anymore.

I did that at Eastern Creek once to turn the PA system down. (Darrell Eastlake was commentating)
Just stood on the wire with one foot and lifted the wire with the other foot.

Would you believe he was commentating top fuel drag cars and you couldn't hear the cars for the PA, so I turned it down!
Funny, all the people around were saying things like "Oh, thank god for that" :lol: :lol: :lol:
