[Supras] speedometer

[Jon]

While I was waiting, I called my local Checker Auto (John there knows 
just about everything).  He told me that just about any good oil would 
do.  I took the oil, and decided to wing it.  I have some small pieces 
of rubber tubing from building model airplanes.  I put that on the end 
of my oil spout, and stuck the other end on the end of the cable in the 
cabin under the dash (after removing the console, and gages).  The tube 
I have is JUST barely bigger than what the spedo cable is.  A gentle 
squeeze, and the oil went right down the cable.  I think that is going 
to do it. 

Have fun.
