Several points:
Sometimes a "custom" speedo cable has to be made-SM465 compatible end on one end, M37 (or AutoMeter uin your case) compatible end at the other and a specific length. I believe some speedo shops can create such things, but I have no first hand experience with this.
If you can...
To clarify this thread:
Early M105's (and water buffaloes) have one air line and do not have safety brakes.
Later models (both 105 and WB) have 2 air hoses and those are the ones with a breakaway system.
There's a good word document here somewhere (I have a new laptop and don't have it yet) called "So you want to buy a deuce"-if someone can post it up, that'd be swell.
Deuces are drying up (dried up) from GL (and the few that are left are overpriced), so more or less, you'll be buying from a...

Squirt-truck and I are friends with some guys in the Land Rover hobby and they invited us on one of their "British truck" offroading trips at D-town this past February. So he took the M37 along with Dumpster and I took the...
Here's the thing:
The in-house search got awful after the most recent upgrade-up until then, that's always what I'd used. So I've moved to google.
But, the in-house search still has two nice features: You can filter by forum and by author. That helps a lot.
So I'd vote for keeping both...
If the electric motor runs and all the spacers are in the bottom like they should be, the pump should work. These are amazingly resilient pumps. My '87 A2C had a disgusting, sludged up tank, it was awful. I had the pump vatted along with the tank and pump still works. I've had it in the...
