Thanks for all the helpful hints on what to do.  I'm gonna check at the
dealer today for a new speedo cable and dust cap.  I'm sure I did this
before and was astounded by the amount and have since forgotten it.
Probably $$$ mind block !  I'll report back here tomorrow with prices I
was quoated on these parts. I do not believe the speedo cable is available
anywhere but through the dealer........prove me wrong on this one and I'll
be a REALLY HAPPY CAMPER !  I think the idea of epoxing on a piece of
square stock to make the end bigger again makes the most sense to me.
Although brazing the end and filing could work also and then there's JB
WELD ?  Maybe that would hold up ?  Mathew is right though, for $35 I'd be
better off spending time with my family.....right on !  BUT, somehow me
thinks it's much more than 35 bucks. Tomorrow.....

Cheers

Frank
