Hopefully in Canada? Running into a problem, see the diesel build thread.

Terry Cable will make them to specified length if you call them.

Thanks!

They build any type of cable...just give them the specs.

I've ordered custom shifter cables form them but did not know they'd make accelerator cables. They're great guys.
EDIT: I wonder if they'd do clutch and speedo cables for the 914 also. There have been lots of complaints about what is currently available.

A high end bicycle shop, seriously.

When I was over at their shop, they have every size /shape of push, pull, stranded, ball end, barrel end, accelerater, park brake, choke, etc.
My SQS sequential shifter came from Czech Republic with a Too-short of a shift cable; set up for rear engine 996gt2 transaxle. I gave ControlCable the correct length (for mid-engine use), the cable-end description, and the unit that they custom made was Spot On. Now working on my accelerater cable for the Tilton pedal set.

Do NOT buy the Terry cable.
I did.... But the part that runs through the tunnel comes without outer sleeve.

I can feel it rubbing against other stuff in the tunnel, so its not going to last very long.

Ordered a replacement cable from 914 Rubber. They did make custom length for me (added length to reach the carb- X-bar).

Good luck

Just pulled mine out and don't see any issues. What could have happened inside the tunnel ? it worked fine for a couple of years and then started binding up. The plastic sleeve over the cable does have a little cut on it in one spot but feels like it's working fine. Going to order a new custom length cable maybe from 914 rubber but I think the probem is elsewhere.

Tried sending email to 914 rubber from their website a few days ago.... no answer. Anyone got a good email address for them?
