Not yet. We could try the early and modify from there. Or I would work with you to template it.

Pictures with measurements from a new cable I have. Really not sure if it is actually one that fits a 914-6. There is a little slack in the cable, so the actual length is slightly more than shown.

I'll take the cable off of my six this weekend and post the results on this thread.

The picture of the length of the original heater cable from my 914-6 is attached. I sent this on to Mark.

Mark,
How did the cable you made for your 75 work out? Does it have back-dated exhaust? What are the lengths of the driver & passenger side?
I’m interested in a new cable for my ’76 which has back-dated exhaust (SSI exchangers and J tubes) and a NOS passenger flapper box.
I read from another post that an early cable (70-74, 38 x 40?) should be used for back-dated exhaust.
However I am using a cable that measures 38 ¾ (say 39) x 41 with a piece clamped onto the long (passenger) side to make it 43”. That doesn’t seem to match any length previously discussed.

Interested to know what lengths others with back-dated exhaust are using before I order one.

This is some weird business as I have 3 old cables that measure 38 x 40 ¼ (70-74), 39 x 41 ¾ and 38 ½ x 41 (with some small error due to measuring old cables with bends). If late model cable is reportedly shorter that early, and /6 shorter still, what application is a 38+ x 41+ for? Hope I'm not confusing things further...

I don't know how I missed this thread! I just bought a 70 thru 74 cable from Stoddard's.
I was told it is longer than my 76 cable but you can make it work by twisting the wire at the control handle. Is this true?
Thanks Brian

I'm sure you could twist it, but will it become unraveled over time? Best bet is to cut and braze to correct legnth.

These are actually just comming into production today as we changed the material due to some feedback on the 1st one we sent out. the cable was not stout enough to not kink when it was pushed through the tunnel. We now have the galvanized wire like brand X and offer an option for a coated cable. Pics to follow tomorrow. Cables fit fine on my 75, and using a known good early. the dimmensions fit on the earlys just went to a better wire.



So anyone who's interested we will start sending the codes out tomorrow to all that have resopnded on the thread.

Mark, Is your 75 stock exhaust or back-dated? Any ideas on lengths for 76 with back-dated exhaust? Thanks.

Mine is not backdated, it is longer. If you know your lengths, I can make sure you get the correct one.
I suspect yours may be the shorter one.

We will be making the

914/6 version
Early - 70-74
and
Late - 75-76

We will be making 2 versions -
The bare cable like others that is a few bucks less, as well as the better product with the coated cables to not wear in the tunnel.
