    Hello togetherI have a question. Where can I get a correct 1963 tachometer cable for my Corvette?The old one is broken, which was a replacement, measuring almost 26 inches.I read that it should not be that long and now I am searching where I could get one with the right length.Car build date was May 6, 1963.Thank you for any help.

    Ruedi, no one makes an exact copy of the original. Occasionally a real one comes up on ebay usually around $125.00.

    Yours should be gray in color.

    What color is yours, black or gray? If it's gray post a picture of the ends. You can replace the inner cable easily.

      Hello Harry
      Mine is gray in color.

      It looks really bad, also the case, so I would like to buy one which works and has the appropriate length.

      First I thought of buying the one from Paragon which is only 24 3/4 inch long https://www.paragoncorvette.com/p-35...ay-jacket.aspx

      Would this work in my Corvette?

      Thanks

        Yes, that one should be fine, but from a judging stand point......Tachometer Cable (gray), 63-64 ncrs judging guide states on 63 plastic is over metal ferrule.


        Post a picture of your anyway.

          Harry, it had once been replaced before and is surely not original. At the moment it will be best for me to get a working reproduction one.

          Thank you
