speedometer cable question
i have a 86 jeep with the 2.5l and the gauge cluster in it is one with gauges not dummy lights. im swapping in a different gauge cluster my wife got for me. the speedometer on the back is different. mine has the metal clip on the cluster and this new one doesnt. can i just go to napa and get a new speedometer cable for this new cluster or do i have to have it custom made? i been searching but came with no real answers about buying it from the parts stores.

mine is a 86 jeep xj and the new one i think is a 87 and up. the new one is like the one in the video and mine is the 86 with the small metal clip on the back of the cluster.

Cable number

My cable won't snap on to the new cluster. That's my main problem and was wondering if the speedo from the newer year would fit. Or is both sides different on the cables.
|
Post 3 don't help any ?
|
Post three is the same setup on the back side of the cluster as I can tell.
|
Cant put your speedo in new cluster my question ?
|
Nope. Won't snap in. And the new one is a bigger square on the end. The new one came with just the square end and not the whole thing.
|
The whole gauge .....not talking about cable...
