Happiness is a cheap bastard, way to go brother.
Is it possible to swap out tach cable top nuts?
I'm talking about the one that threads onto the instrument itself.
Right now I'm working up a set of 3.5 gallon fatbobs to use on my '74 ironhead for summer road trips to get better mileage & they came with the FXS/Sturgis tach & speedo dash.
Both instruments are cable-driven.
I'd like to convert my existing 12mm mini-gauge cables to work with the dash's gauges --- cables ain't cheap & I'd rather use what I've already got.
I'm pretty sure I can do it with the speedo cable, which would require a 5/8"-NPT replacement nut (if I'm not mistaken), but I'm unsure if the tach cable nut can be slipped off/removed & swapped out.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
