Default Speedo cable questions

Ok i'm getting fed up now. My speedo cable has yet again come apart where it joins the converter half way down the bulk head. Is there another option apart from having the rectangular convertor joined to the top and bottom half of the cable half way down the bulk head? I think i saw once that you could get a long all in one cable and a round converter which plugs directly in to the back of the clocks so that its not spinning in the engine bay.

Failing that can i not just get an all in one cable with no converter and just have the speedo reading in kph. As i can use the road angel for the mph speed.

Any opinions welcome.

The standard oe cable will make your speedo read in kph, but you will need the kph speedo face.
The round convertor that fits directly to the back of the clocks is very very accurate, and also uses the standard oe cable, but you will need the mph speedo face that reads upto 180 mph.
Alternatively you could fit the standard oe cable and fit the speedo face that reads upto 120 mph.
