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. |
