Speedometer Cable Thread Size - Jamie - 10-03-2020

Does anyone know the following sizes relating to an Austin Seven speedometer?
  • The size of the thread on spigot on the speedometer where the cable screws onto
  • The outside diameter of the spigot
  • The size of the square on the end of the cable
I wish to make a ratio reduction gearbox and knowing this detail would help.

Regards,

Jamie.

3/4" x 26 .I think the drive square is 5/32"

The thread is 3/4" BSB.

(Apologies, just re-read the question! 3/4" BSB is the external thread on the brass fitting at the gearbox end to which the cable attaches. I imagine it might be the same at the other end but I can't personally vouch for that...)
