I need to replace the tach cable in a friends plane. The inner part is what
needs replacement. I have access to another cable but the inner part is too
long.
How can I shorten the cable? The end is square and appears to have been
put into a press to form it.
I tried to square up a piece of cable from the old one, with no success. i
attempted to pound it square with a vise and hammer.
I was looking for an old time speedo shop here in dallas to help me with
this, but I can't seem to find them any more. I guess the modern cars have
put them out of business.
Any suggestions?
Dave
