1915 Speedometer installation?

Post by Steve Jelf » Sun Jun 19, 2022 11:24 pm

I intend to install a Stewart 100 in my runabout. The firewall drawing, made after Ford gave up speedometers, of course doesn't show it. But I gather the usual location is to the right of the coil box, slightly below and to the right of the light switch. What I'm wondering about is the cable. I'm guessing it requires cutting a notch in the upper edge of the top floor board. Is that right?

Steve, If you can wait until the end of the month, I'll mail you a copy of mounting instructions that will give you all the details for a proper installation. Russ Furstnow (PS: I'm on vacation and out of the country!)
