The /4 cable is more than long enough not to need the extra hardware to pivot on the transmission and save some money. Just need to fabricate a bracket and mount it off one of the couple spots available.
My /4 cable does not have a threaded end to attach a ball socket. Has anybody else worked with this and somehow either put a ball socket on a non-threaded cable or used something on the bar linkage that allows for cable movement?  |

Perhaps you could braze a ball end onto the end of the cable or try to drill, tap, and install a small Allen head setscrew to hold the connector onto the cable. Then you'd have to have a bracket that can adjust the hold down at the cable shroud.
When it's all said and done, I wonder if mimicking the factory setup may not be easier and cheaper in the long run. |

The bell crank on the trans and rod method seems to work better in my opinion versus the direct cable connection on the carbs or FI. The direction of pull is correct. Ratio to lever on pedal cluster is correct. Tension on the cable is less. Operation is smoother. The only thing depending on which setup you are using is the correct bell crank. 914-6, 911 Carbs, 911FI, 911 mechanical spritzen all used different bell cranks.

I don't use the bell-crank on my /6 but i won't be of much help here since i simply bought the PMS cable that is already setup to do what you're trying to do.
8 years and no problems with the wrap around cable at all ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You could thread the end!

End is too small to thread as I remember.
1.) Weld the ball end to the cable (I've done this twice). Still holding after 4 years on current car. 2.) Call Terry Cable and have them make you one that is threaded on the end. I carry one as a spare and it cost me about $60.00. |

Just to share my solution...utilizing the original CIS throttle plate with an angle piece of steel mounted on top. Brazed the ball to the end of the cable.

QUOTE(McMark @ Aug 31 2014, 07:18 PM)  After assembling all the needed pieces at considerable cost and Dan's Way posted on my garage wall, I'd already come to the conclusion that Ferry and his summer intern nephews started with the 911 arrangement and just never looked past reversing the system, instead of just simplifying things...incredible! How could they have missed it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Since I have all the parts, I may use the factory setup, but the next one will look like yours. |

In one of the old Upfixin De Porsche someone wrote an article about using a 914-6 cable and they made some cable brackets for the side of the trans and connected directly to the 6 throttle linkage, which seemed like a good solution.

This is the setup that was on the motor I'm installing in my car.
 Basically just an L bracket with three holes drilled, my throttle cable doesn't quite reach, so that's today's project, make a new bracket to reach my cable. |
