69 Speedo Cable attachment

[JIMWICK 1]

Need help attaching the speedo cable to the back of the gauge. I just bought the car unfinished and I'm getting close. It looks like I'm missing something, but I don't know how to search the part. Currently the cable just sits in the hole and it's not secured. There's a screw missing, so I'm guessing it needs some kind of hold down?

 No it just clips on . Make sure the inner part of the cable is lined up with the square hole in the back of the gauge . Then push tell it clicks.

Thanks just figured it out haha. Had to set some pliers on the collar and tap the cable into the hole. Tight fit. Then I pushed the plastic clip to one side and sure enough it fell right into place. I chucked the cable into my drill and slowly turned it to see if it works. This cable is cut in two and I was just getting ready for the new one I ordered. 

 

Thanks again

Yes you are missing a screw which is just like the other one there that holds the speedo, and there is no hold down.
