SUBJECT: INSTRUMENT CABLE ASSEMBLIES - ENGINE TO DASH PANEL
ON MODELS: RDS, RK-29E, 40 H.P. V4S, V4A-19R, 80 H.P.
VX, VXH-13A, 60 H.P. V4T-13A, 100 H.P.
In April of this year we began furnishing a shorter instrument cable with the subject motors. This was done primarily due to the copper shortage, and secondly because the longer length was not required in the majority of installations.
For installations requiring the longer length cables, you may procure a 21 foot cable by returning the original, in new and unused condition, transportation prepaid, to Johnson Motors, Service Department, 701 Sand Street, Waukegan, Illinois 60085. Please advise our Mr. H. Dunning that a particular cable (give part number) is being returned for exchange. Upon its receipt, we will then be able to identify it with this exchange program. Be sure to disassemble all the instruments from the dash panel and and retain them for assembly to the longer cable.
The part numbers of the original equipment cables and their usage are listed below along with the corresponding part numbers of the longer, 21 foot cables.
RDS-29E - 382123, 17 ft., 381636, 21 ft.
RK-29E - 382122, 17 ft., 381634, 21 ft.
VX, VXH-13A - 382119, 18 ft., 381624, 21 ft.
V4S-19R - 382121, 18 ft., 381633, 21 ft.
V4A-19R &
V4T-13A - 382120, 18 ft., 381627, 21 ft.
This program is to be used only on an exchange basis. If additional lengths are required beyond the 21 foot length, you will need to order extra cables through your Parts Distributor and splice them together. (See SB-1096 on “Extending The Switch Cable Assembly”.)
