Dana 20 to Dana 300 speedo cable answer

["Eppinger.Michael" <Eppinger.Michael@domain.elided>]

IH all,

Someone asked which cable to use when you swap out x-fer cases.  I just
did this swap so . . . I removed the transfere case end of the dana 20
cable(the part that screws onto the t-case), and pulled the cable back
through the frame hole and out the dash.  There is another hole in the
fire wall down by the brake and gas pedal that I rerouted the cable out
of, curved it back around and over the top of the transmission, then
down to the t-case.  The old end that was crimped on that I removed, I
used a punch and hammer to open the crimps back up, slipped the end back
on the cable and crimped it back on with a pair of dykes (sp?, no jokes
please!)  I did two crimps, with them 90 degs offset to each other.  You
don;'t want to crimp too tightly, or you will cause a bind in the cable.
With this routing, the cable is almost too long, but it is nice to have
some extra cable when you are removing the speedo cable.
