I have a bus, with a different engine than stock, that needs a custom (or modified) sized cable. The only thing we’ve found local is too big and with tax they want about 170 bones for it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
Anything, link, member, etc., that does custom cables???? |

I had terry cable make me a custom throttle cable last month. Did an extra 24" to make a more gentle radius for my rear pull linkage.
Was about $45 and they had it here in a week. http://www.terrycable.com/ |

Marine shops often make custom cables. Pegasus racing makes custom cables, but then youd have to have it shipped from the states

Consider Root Werks custom Bell crank assembly then do a Leaded ball and wire cable for bicycles up to the throttle body. Cut to fit.
I did that on my 3.6 and it lasted three years before breaking. Shoulda lasted longer or not broken...but I have a lead foot and shoulda checked it thje last oil change. |
