Cable seal (Read 144 times)

Justinmkantor Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 117 Monterey, CA Gender:	Cable seal 02/05/09 at 15:29:01 Anbody know where to get the actual speedo cable seal. I would like to find one and not just put in a makeshift oring. I have an oring in now but would like to see if a new one would work better.

And I'm in luck, guess where I found one? yep, under the starter of the replacement engine I got.

That's where mine hid for a few years. When I found it, I was dumb enough to clean it up and use it to replace the perfectly good o-ring I had in the speedo cable fitting.

You guessed it, the seal leaked.

I've got an o-ring in there again. It works great. I see no reason to track down another OEM oil seal.

No leaks yet. Wasn't a perfect fit either. Part of a faucet repair set I purchased for another project. It was a little oversized, but formed up in there nice enough to do the job.
