VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Body - Sheet Metal, Paint & Wood '48It really worked

When I restored the '48 I bought a new speedometer cable. However they only sell one length, 11" longer than the original. So the other day I dug out the original and it was about 1/2 covered in light rust. Went to my local parts store yesterday and bought this. Really had to talk myself into it as it was $32.99 plus tax. The stuff looks, feels, and smells like water, really. So I put the cable in a container and poured it in. About 3:30 PM yesterday. Today, about 2:00 PM I looked at it to see what was going on. Could not believe it. As you can see, the rust had turned loose. Took it out and hosed it off. That is ALL that I did. All the rust is gone. Looks like new. Says it is reuseable until it turn black.

I only wish I had found this 2 years ago. Can't say it will work for you. Just thought I'd share what it did in this situation.

Sounds like great stuff Russell!I will buy some today
I don't see too many of the cables not cover in black,I have a couple,both on the 48 and stashed away....What years were these used...

The cable for my `50 looks like the one in the photo.
