Type 9 speedo drive - blocking off

Post by Pete&Matt »

What have you all done with regards to blocking off the speedo cable drive on the Type 9 box? There appears to be no aftermarket solution for it that I can find.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I still use that drive but if it's a problem you could manufacture a little alluminium disc to slightly more than the drive diameter . Then tap it around the circumference carefully ----- make sure it's non greasy and dry --- Sikaflex the disc over the drive but no Sikaflex must get into the inner drive area. Simples :wink:

I will give Chris at BGH geartech a call too. He has been very helpful in the past.

If not I will do as you have suggested Rob.

Apparently you can use a 2p as it's the right size....see below
