Birthday Presents - Arm Rests & Speedometer Cable

One of my birthday presents this year was a $50 gift card to CJ Pony Parts.  I used it almost immediately to order a new set of arm rests and a new speedometer cable.  I then installed them this week.

The arm rest were just a small change I've wanted to make for a while.  The original arm rests are cracked and are an eye sore.  The new ones were made by Dashes Direct.  They are slightly larger than the original and the appearance of the texture is not as close to the original as I would like.  However, they work well and are certainly an improvement.


The speedometer cable was needed as the last one was melted by the exhaust.  I'd just happen to notice it a few days ago.  When I took it out, I also noticed the o-ring which keeps the portion which connects to the transmission from leaking was rock hard and starting to leak.  When I installed this one, I ran it a different way so it is far enough from the exhaust that I don't expect to have any problems.
