Bought this item to replace failed one. Learned there is a left and right lay to the cables twist. Old cable had wrong direction twist to it. Sales person at Spruce was a big help to me in selecting correct cable for my engine set up. Construction of cable is very high grade.

Cable fit my 1964 Clark end loader/backhoe perfectly. Due to the thoroughness of your website, I was able to pick out proper ends and lay for this cable with relative ease. OEM cable hasn’t been available for 50 plus years.

This cable is captive on the engine side such that it will not put pressure on the tach input. Some tachs like the Mitchell, require a captive cable to keep pressure off the tach, this cable will satisfy that requirement.

Havent installed it yet but looks good.

No problem

Great, not one thing to complain about, everything just went perfect, and fit too.

looks good fit and works

right part & price

Precisely as ordered.

Prompt delivery, couldnt ask for better service. Unfortunately I ordered it in error and must return it.

Fast delivery and cable is exactly as described.

I ordered this tach cable to replace the probably original cable that broke in my Mooney M20C. After reading some of the reviews I realized Id have to order a custom length. Based on the length of my old cable and the schematics of these cables I realized I was going to need an inner cable about 0.25 longer that what came stock. So I called Spruce and ordered a 29 cable housing with a 30.5 inner cable. I could have gone 30 and 31.5, but the 29 was an inch longer than my original already. It works great so far after several hours of operation. I think the issue with these cables some folks are having is that the engine end tang sticks out farther than on other cables, necessitating a longer core than what youd expect, it did on mine. The square drive end is fairly long so if you did order one longer than you needed you could trim it back with a dremmel.

The cable ordered fit as I expected and other than than threading it through the firewall was a simple remove and replace task.

Good abternun wha is the tipe for piper Pa 32

Arrived a day early, carefully coiled and packed. Very pleased.

Awesome, good quality

Great product.....confusing ordering directions. I ordered the Cable length (Tip to tip) instead of cable liner length for the whole assy. It ended up about 1-1/2 long... Oh well... it fit Gotta Fly...

order went ok was about 6 days in getting it.

Product quality is a 5 but the time to get it to my front door was a little long which brings overall rating down to the 3

We were searching for a replacement cable for our Industrial Cummins diesel engine. We found this site and bought a longer (needed) cable. The driven end ( engine) is a little smaller but works and the holding cap on the tach end was too large but with a self made adapter, it works. I suspect the length issue others are having is due to turns in the cable installation.

Will not work for Mooney M20C in present form. Once cable is routed with two 90 degree turns needed to connect both ends, inner cable shortens and disengages tachometer drive.

Inner cable is too short by approximately 1/2 to 5/8 of a inch. Will only work if cable stays straight with no bends.

The cable disappears when mounted in the airplane, as the housing interior clearance and takes up too much inner cable during turns. We have to use your new housing, and make up our replacement inner cable using bulk stock.

If you order a 48” tachometer assembly and break the inner. They don’t carry the inner on the shelf for a standard 48”. No, you have to special order and pay extra so they can make extra money. It’s highway robbery. You designed it to be this way so you can pocket more.I highly have a distaste for the business model. Cool for you to have you reviews on your website so you can edit.

Tachometer Cable 48 Right Lay

Inner cable is too short. it might work if straight but that is not the case with many installations. They would be better off having a longer tach end available so you could trim to length after installation. Or maybe ask if it has bends before cutting.

New install on experimental. As others have stated this cable only works if straight. I had to order a custom inner cable 1/2 longer than supplied. They should sell the housing separate rather than as a complete assembly. I now have $100.00 in a tach cable and a useless inner cable.

When you order the inner cable according to the ordering diagram, it comes about and inch and a half short. A 60” inner cable is 60” from the top of the tang to the tip of the square, not as shown in the ordering diagram.

As others have said, the inner cable is too short and will not engage the tach. Utterly worthless.
