ABSTRACT:
A sleeve member interconnects an upper and lower length of replacement casing, which lengths are associated with the vehicle speedometer and transmission respectively. The upper length is crimped into one end of the sleeve member while the lower length is slidably adjustable with the remaining portion thereof. By a series of process steps, the interconnected lengths of replacement casing will contain a replacement rotatable flexible shaft cable therein, which cable is provided with a square tipped cable fitting at each end thereof, one of which operatively engages the vehicle speedometer while the other engages the transmission. By virtue of the slidably adjustable lower casing length within the sleeve member, proper protrusion of the cable fitting square tips is insured. The adjustable length of casing may then be rigidly crimped into the sleeve member. Thus, no preformed square ends are required on the replacement cable and yet the process permits the use of replacement casing material having an inside diameter no larger than that of the original equipment casing, the latter feature providing a quietly operating aftermarket device.
