speedo cable

[HandyAndy]

working on my speedo cable today, it seems a mighty tight bend in the cable once its attached to the gearbox with the circlip
i know there are angled devices available so that the cable runs straight but these seem very expensive for what they are,

so ..... what have others done?

a thought i had was to run the cable from where it connects onto the gearbox then in to the cockpit area along BR11 & BR4 then up behind the steering column to the instrument pod, would this be acceptable or should i just accept the tight bend within the transmission tunnel route?

your idea,s / advice please.

cheers
