[DeTomaso] Speedo cable

[Steve]

Mike - I wish I could say that  cheapo band-aid half-assed jury-rigged repairs are limited to just Pantera's.  But this is not the Superformance forum and I am not going to get into that ball of worms.  Flip side, when done right - our Daytona Coupe will be a dream to drive.  Now to just get a decent cam installed....

Dave,

You should know who Roland is. He is Europe’s leading De Tomaso parts distributor and arguably has forgotten more about Panteras than you or I will ever know. Www.detomaso.de

And he is ABSOLUTELY right in what he says. These are valuable cars yet MANY people insist on cheapo band-aid repairs of fixing them properly. Eventually the cars get sold and the new owners spend years having to go back and re-fix things properly. 

That was certainly true of the Pantera I bought. It was a nightmare of half-assed jury-rigged repairs to problems that could have been easily fixed properly had the previous owners just taken the time and effort and minimal additional expense to do so.  Instead *I* got to do it....
