31-33 is different than 34-36 dualratio.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Curt is correct- it is a totally unique speedometer cable to a 1934 850, 1935 851, and 1936 851 - and it probably the longest speedometer cable of any car made (excepting if an 34-36 Auburn hears/Ambulance could be had with a Columbia ? ) and probably longer than most truck speedometer cables too.

John I have a speedometer core kit, it is 97 " long. Comes with the end to install after you cut to length. PM me. George.

I could use an insert for the cable - the I have a housing that is exceptional otherwise

Try Doug Pray. He recently listed some for the 810 812 Cord cars.He also listed the emergency brake cables from the shoes to the next connection. They looked nice too.

Wanted: 1936 852 Cabriolet Speedometer Cable was created by kenswheels

I'm just finishing up a systems overhaul of my 1936 852 Cabriolet and find I need a speedometer cable.

Since my buddy Curt has resigned from the parts game (I should have bought his while I had the chance!), I need another source.

Anyone have good one available or know where I can get one.

Thanks for your help!
