Here are two photos of the speedometer clamp and screw on my M38. As you can tell from the photos the clamp is held with that screw along the inside of the right side frame. Hope this helps.

Missing my speedo cable clamp, trying to find out where it mounts on the right side M38 frame rail. I have a likely hole in the bottom edge of the rail about half way but it's for a 1/4-inch screw not the #10 the ORD9 calls for.

Research hasn't turned up anything so far --- except this old post. I even looked in Kendall's album for the original photos he posted above and they aren't there either.

Any assistance appreciated!

Hello Ron
Been trailing up this clamp location without much luck.

I have two holes in that location, one the 1/4 size and one a little larger.

Checked the manuals for a pic but no luck.

Hi Ron,
I can't believe with all of the restored and Road worthy M38's out there
that you haven't received an answer or photo yet!

I can. Folks are busy.........either that or maybe the answer is so obvious that I'm missing it right in front of me and everyone is just being patient with a rookie

The good news is there's two likely holes for the clamp.....50-50 odds. I'll flip a coin. Should I ever stumble on hard evidence it's nothing I can't fix. Note to self: make log entry.

There sure are a lot of "lost" photos because of the photo-bucket fiasco isn't there? Makes researching hard having to re-tread the same ground over again.

Thanks!

Yup,
Like my Dad used to say. No such thing as a free lunch.

Did you see what Photobucket wants for the service????

I've been through a lot of the pics here, and Bretto's over on
Photobucket.

You too a lot of photos. Any chance you took some during teardown
that aren't posted here?

Nope, no tear down photos. I bought it that way. The previous owner did all the heavy lifting on it, which was what I was looking for. No way for me to do that kind of thing in a residential neighborhood garage, at least not without ticking off the neighbors and/or causing a divorce. Oh well, one out of two ain't bad

It's one of the reasons why I really appreciate this site so much!

Hey Brian,
I never did anything with photo-bucket before. Am clueless about it. What's the deal? Can I look at jeep photos over there without cost? Every little bit helps. Tanks!

The for hire photo storage outfits require you to segregate your photos either private or public. Only a public photo can be added to a link on another web site. In addition my experience with these hosting sites is they download very slow.

I really do not understand why folks do not just use our web site's photo album.

As to a good photo existing today showing the gospel original mounting I don't think you will find one. I reviewed all the photos in the manuals (TM9-804, TM 9-8012, TM 9-1804A, & TM 9-1804B) and found only three illustrations that address the cable's routing near the frame .

TM 9-8012 Figure 36 shows the cable both forward and aft of the engine rear crossmember but the center of this part of the cable run is not viewable!

The two illustrations in TM 9-1804A are even less usefull:

The only reliable source for an answer is the factory blueprint.

Any recent photos will only depict the choice made by the owner.

Is this a deliberate repost or is your computer triggering reposts on it's own?
