[DMCForum] Re: Angle Drive Cable (Martin)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I most emphatically do *NOT* agree with you. Where do rear engine
Porsches take off? From the transmission. Where do Doodlebugs take
off? From the transmission. There's a very good possibility the
speedometer cables in my front engine Lincolns are even long enough a
DeLo transmission.

It's just another piece of questionable DMC engineering. The car is
full of ideas that looked better on paper than they turned out in
reality. 

It's hard to change an engineer's mind once he or she has gotten a
preconceived notion into it.

That is unless the angle drive was thrown on the car in those last
minutes rush to production.
