Last weekend I broke my year old throttle cable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I decided to order a Terry Cable (best out there?) from PParts. The cable came in on Thursday (very good shipping time from CA to VA). I installed the cable today..too longer then I thought it would. It was a pain to remove the A/C console, pedal board, and snake the cable in while the car wa on all 4's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) After adusting the cable so I had full open and the pedal stop so I would stretch the cable. I figured I was done. As I was depressing the pedal by hand SNAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) WTF After getting back in there I discovered the cable pulled out of the threaded piece that connects to the pedal linkage. WTF (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) So I have contacted PParts to see what they will do?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I thought the $40 cable would hold up better then this.. |

How does the real SIX's connect to the fire wall? Is there a bent piece to connect to? I am sending my cable BACK to Terry Cable and they will look at it and replace it with a new one. I wonder if they can make it with a few more strands??? Group buy anyone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) My 1st cable broke AT the firewall exit point (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) As you can see from the above photo, it was due to the routing. I have my new cable installed with a large arc in the routing to reduce the kink. Not sure how I will secure it yet. I don't see how the OEM or RJ bellcrank can help with the break at the firewall? Anyone have a photo of a real SIX firewall (down low)? |
