In the parts section it lists this standard SD1 speedo cable (Unipart - GSD380) as being OK for 350i series 2 - anyone know if this is also OK for an '84 ? (series 1)

I was always under the impression that the speedo cable was a special on all models: Ford had a clip-in fitting that didn't work with the Stewart-Warner or VDO speedo and the Rover speedo had a different fitting to the VDO as well AFAIR.

ETA Forgot to say that the later SD1 had an electronic speedo anyway so no drive cable...
