The four (with no spare) splined type wheels (off a GT-6+) are 5 1/2" wide for sure, no tires on them. The splines look better some than others and all might be useable.
I can take some close up pics or measure exactly if you wish, just let me know. And I'll let you know later on the toyota cable, it will be a week or two. I'm waiting on the fellow to pick up some aluminum scrap needed for a machining project. Should be there by the end of this month.

: Hi Jim- I tried calling but missed you.
: Call me if you like.
: On the cable, I did this:
: Pull the core cable out and set it
: aside. Then lay the outer casing and a
: stock outer casing alongside each other
: and mark a cut point on both. I cut
: mine about 3 inches back from the
: speedo so it is inside of the car and
: out of the weather. Deburr the grinder
: cuts with a dremel tool and small
: stone, or file, etc. Then splice the
: casings together with a 3 inch length
: of brass tubing and epoxy. The tubing
: is easy to find at any hobby shop, I
: think it is 1/4 inch od. Use the toyota
: core inside the joined cases, it will
: fit the speedo fine. Be sure of the
: lengths before cutting, in regards to
: the core. End result is a cable setup
: with the toyota trans fitting at one
: end and triumph speedo fitting at the
: other. Never had any problems with
: mine, so I will advise the same mod to
: you.

: Hi Dan!
:
: Need a little help here.
:
: The Toyota speedo cable I have, ends
: oddly at the speedometer end. The
: inside cable doesn't terminate with the
: normal, "pressed" square end.
: Instead, this one terminates with a
: squared plastic piece that is slipped
: over the metal cable and glued/melted
: inplace. And of course, the diameter
: of where the plastic mates to the metal
: cable is too wide to just pull out of
: the Toyota outer casing. I wouldn't be
: able to slip the Triumph outer casing
: over the the plastic fitting either.
:
: What's wrong here?
