Cap for Speedometer connection
06/13/12 at 23:10:38

I was wondering if anyone knew of a screw fit cap or something that I could use to block off the speedometer port on the engine? I just got my Trail Tech Vapor with indicator dashboard kit in today and plan on doing away with the stock speedo and most likely extending the key switch to that area, and would like to figure out a way to plug off the speedo port on the motor. Any non-ghetto looking suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I may just do that with the stock speedo cable, as the trail tech unit being digital uses a magnetic sensor that is mounted to the front wheel.

Will check into that before I butcher the speedo cable that someone may here may need.

Might be a -4. Most likely a metric equivalent. Even NAPA should have the caps. Any place that makes Gates or Parker hydraulic hoses.
