All speedo cables are interchangeable at the gearbox end. They can be a pain to screw up though, it's a very fine thread & easy to get crossed.

Are you looking for a connector for a 65dm4 dizzy module? They're also used on carbed K Series if you spot a dead Metro etc. in the scrappers.

Thanks For That Info Ill Keep My Eye Out Now

I've been looking for a speedo cable for Huey's MG Metro engine and am about to try the third. The original one snapped just behind the dash. The problem is the cable itself, which has to be square. I have been getting them from Minispares and M&M. The last one I bought had an elliptical cable at the gearbox end and the drive minced it. The latest one is longer than required but has the correct square cable. Itr remains to be seen whether the push fit at the top end is ok. So I can't answer your question and I really ought to keep quiet, but hey, if I did that I wouldn't ever post anything.
