Pelican lists two throttle cables. One for the /4 and one for the /6. But it won't let me buy the /4 one. I have carbs with the cable hooked up to the front of the linkage (firewall side). Someone told me the /6 is just longer.

What to do?

The threaded mounting collar snapped on my cable. Does anyone have one I can buy? Where can i find a new one?

it is not "just" longer -- the end fitting is different.
the /6 cable terminates in a threaded stud for attaching the ball socket.
the /4 cable terminates in a slender unthreaded pin for attaching to the throttle body with the screw/clamp fastener.

the Terry cable appears to be sturdier and is Teflon lined for smoother operation. but most people have no issues with the OEM cables that last a long time too. pick one.
