speedo hub interchange

[70GT]

Wondering who can tell me witch speedo hubs interchange with 85 700 e . Put in new rear wheel and sprocket carrier bearings along with new chain and sprockets yesterday went for my first ride in the last few months . All good but right at the end my speedo quit working cable is not broken . Pulled the cluster end and cable does not turn when you spin the front tire . pulled the hub and its hard to turn and feels rough pretty sure its junk . So just wanting to find out if its a fairly gs universal part . Thank you 70 GT

Since you've pulled speedo drive unit off..... does it have circlip to hold it together? If so, why not open it up and clean , lube it- maybe your cable broke just inside it. I thought these were standard ratio units, like 224/60 ????

Mine was not useable I am now running one from an 81 or 82 550 L different style than my stock had to use the cable from the 550 also but other than the cable being a little long its hooked up and working fine . I have not had a chance to check it against radar yet but feels about right . Inside the gears are identical the outer body is slightly different mainly due to the way the cable hooks up the stock 700 gear has a male fitting . The 550 has a female fitting .
