We are looking at making an improved version of the throttle cable utilizing a thicker cable. We will be using the architectural cable we use in other applications. There has been some issue with fatigue on some of the cables currently on the market.
If there's enough interest we can easily make these with this more rugged cable. Who's in? |

For the 6 the routing will have to be determined. Since I don't have one. we will document.
The cable itself is 1/8" It can be lubricated, but will run on an internally lined sheath. I need to do some research as to the best lubrication for the materials involved, but will ship pre lubricated, and if it's the lubrication I think I can use should not require any additional maintenance applications. |

I believe there is a way with a 6 to avoid the bell crank with a longer cable like the 4.. I think Terry had made some.. I need to research that a bit.. Ultimately I would love to carry a 6 cable on my website for a complete 6 conversion kit. |

They have one for a six on their web site: http://www.terrycable.com/Throttle-cable-f...otor_p_303.html I'm interested in one for a carbed /4 but didn't see an answer whether installation would be plug and play for the stock item - at least as it runs through the tunnel from pedal to firewall. |
