speedometer cable clamps and routing for overdrive TR3A's
John recently posted a very nice picture of the center cable clamp for an OD equipped TR2. There was mention of one or two more clamps but no discussion of location. Where is the second (or third) clamp located? Also, does the cable go inside or outside of the heater hose on the passenger side of the firewall.
Obviously some assembly is going on today!
Thanks for the assistance.

Here's number two. I had to look for this picture as I couldn't find it before. The hole and clip are original to the car.
John,
Thanks for your photo indicating the speedo cable clamp location on the inner fender well. Despite my car not coming equiped with an o/d, I do have a clamp screw hole located there that I intend on putting into use. My question to you; is the clamp made out of brass and if so would a brass capillary tube clamp suffice in this application (with a little reshaping) or is there a source for a correctly sized clamp?
Thanks,

I have no idea why I didn't reply sooner. The hole you have is likely for a windscreen washer hose. They ran from the driver's inner fender across the front of the battery tray area of the bulkhead in the most typical Trafalgar arrangement found on later 3As and Bs. The brass clamps like those used on the temp gauge line under the inner bulkhead were most often used although I've seen others. Lots of Bs had screen washers; look for the little screw holes in the inner fender.
