Default speedo drive for 1979

got a H9 1979 Ironhead and need a speedo drive from the front wheel as the spigot has broken on mine. As parts are more or less non existant at dealers in England. does anyone have a spare or know of an alternative that will work, maybe a later model?

I got one from ebay, but the diameter where the cable goes in is threaded, the one on the bike I cant tell , the outer cable has broken off so not sure if the end is threaded or not. Will have to look at on Sunday as its my first day off.
