How can I hook up my stock gauge-cluster to a T5 gearbox with mechanical speedo-drive.
Other words, who's selling those cables.
Thanks,

I just noticed you are in Belgium. Don't know if you have a NAPA but their parts listings include the length and the buyers guide tab will tell which vehicles it fits. Maybe someone else will know if the end fittings are the same on later model Chevy trucks.

The ratio was slightly off so I bought an adapter to slow it down slightly. I found the adapter on ebaY.

The stock one on my 4-speed was too short to reach the back of the T-5. BK6151606 fits a large number of vehicles including 60-72 Chevy trucks.
