Speedometer cable (44 ins. long)
A 44-inch speedometer drive cable, Triumph part 60-0542, from the speedometer/tachometer/tail lamp catalog group.
This is a speedometer cable, 44 inches long, listed under Triumph part number 60-0542 (also shows up in older parts books as D542). It's the flexible drive cable that runs from the back of the speedometer head down to the drive unit, spinning the speedo needle as the wheel turns.

It shows up in the catalog under the SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER AND TAIL LAMP figure, so it's grouped with the instrument and lighting cluster rather than anything in the gearbox or front end. Catalog appearances for this one run 1964 to 1965.
