Hi Keith,

Three things:

1. Personally, I wouldn't drill any holes in any dash.
2. I like your idea of creating a bracket...that would be my choice.
3. As for keeping the cable from turning, I'm not sure what to do as
I've never examined one in detail. I will say that my 2000 Quota
requires two hands to operate...one to turn the knob and one to keep the
cable from twisting up on itself under the dash. To the best of my
knowledge, it's operating as designed - poorly.

Please let us know what you end up doing.

I've got a speedo with a tripometer. The trip reset cable is currently
hanging down under the speedo housing. I am mulling over a few ideas to

mount this cable either in the housing (drilling a hole in the housing
somewhere) or making a bracket and attaching it somewhere near the
speedo housing. My question is, does anybody have a speedo with a
tripometer, and how does it mount? There seems to be a groove under the

reset knob that looks like it accepts a c-clip, but I can't figure out
how I am going to mount this cable to a bracket (or the housing) and
hold it in place/keep it from moving when I turn the knob to reset the
tripometer. Any help, ideas, or better yet, pix would be greatly
appreciated.
