914-6 clutch cable - GEMO or Terry?, 914-6 clutch cable options Options

OK - did all the searches, looked at Pelican review & the Club site too - no joy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Question - which is the better choice - GEMO or Terry?

update - and some measurements fyi

(i ordered both cables - Terry from Pelican & "gemo" fro AA)

the Terry cable from Pelican is 3.12 mm dia - coarser wire than the old oem cables, also coarser wire than the AA "gemo" 914-6 specific cable at only 3.02 mm

the AA "914-6" cable is "white bag" - only 3.02 mm
- no brand tag identifying it as a genuine gemo as i have received with other genuine gemo cables over the yrs - so who knows what it really is - china sourced is my guess

the older (branded) gemo 914-6 that cable i removed is 3.38 mm dia - - same finer wire as the AA "gemo", (ie, more flexible ?), and same length

the Terry cable is longer by 2+ inches, but can be worked with and barrel-shimmed to fit if necessary - see pics in my 2nd post below

Hussey's club site advice is GEMO (of course - he does not sell Terry)

Pelican now only sell Terry & there's just one review - negative - it appears the Terry is "universal fit"


( seems like i have the same failure issue the negative review discusses)


-have any of y'all had failures like i've described above?

( I know - all made in China nowadays - whaddya expect?)


TIA
