Breaking Speedo Cables
Ok Now ive replaced the Speedo Cable in my car twice, once with a cable out of a 91 Civic but it was a manual so it was a little too short so i figured that is why it broke that one, then i grabbed one out of a accord and it was ALOT longer, and it worked but it also broke, they break about 3 inches down from where it connects to the speedo i know its breaking from the sharp bend right there, but i dont know if i rerouted it wrong or what? does anyone have a picture of how it comes out in the dash? or any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance

with the cable that im running now, it seems to be working fine, and ive put 250 miles on it and when i had ti run wrong before they would break within 40 miles so ill see how long this one works hopefully a long time. Thanks for the Help.
