Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

My classic is a 1985 FX4R London Taxi with the 2286cc Land Rover engine, manual gearbox and has a broken speedo cable for which I cannot seem to locate the correct replacement
I have already had 2 replacement cables sent out from specialists that assured me were correct but then did not fit - one had the correct gearbox end and one had the correct speedo end but unfortunately not the correct combination
It measures approx 62 inches in length and its definitely not part number JHM 1763
I have linked pictures below of the original and would be really grateful if anyone could come up with the correct cable or part number

Yes Peter! and mine. If all else fails there is Speedy Cables www.speedycables.com in Swansea, but Speedograph will be a good deal less expensive.
