My AG SWB tourer has a 4 speed gearbox & the speedo cable goes up through the floor by means of bending up one of the removable covers! Not a neat solution. How did it route on a (say) 1933/4 four speed car? The cable is plenty long enough to find a new route.
I also have to provide an access hole (with rubber bung?) for the gearbox filler plug which could only now be filled (with difficulty!) by a squeezy bottle, oil injector or similar. What was the access on (again) an early four speed car? I will be remaking the angled stiffener on the passenger side floor (The one riveted in by the body mounting bolt) which has been cut in half on it's angle as it may have been in the way of the gearbox (?) and now flops around on a rivet doing not a lot when the body mounting bolt is removed. Actually, not much when that bolt IS in place!
