Stainless cable runs a lot less friction and feels much smoother,made one for my Speedster replica and found my Webers snapped closed without the need of a centre return spring which previously caused a heavy pedal with the stock (cut down) cable.

FOR THE 6 -

Good news is the bellows I already make. It can be included easily. The trans end is different but can be easily made. It will cost a few bucks more, but not much.I need to figure out how much, but my guess is it would add $5.

Judging from the interest I will be moving forward on these this next week.
We will do the
stock cable 4
6 cable to factory spec
V8 cable - using factory terminations
Subaru cable - using factory terminations

They will all be at the same price except the 6 which is different and will require more machining. It will be $29.

After the GB the V8 and Subaru will be more but we will stock a few.

One of my 4s is carbbed and using a stock cable. I can do 3 versions, dtock 4, a predetermined 6 conversion, and custom to customer spec. The 3rd bersion, will be more expensive if we do it in the future, but in production its easily accomidated.


Does anyone know if a longer than stock cable can be used on a carbed 4 to allow routing the cable through the stock location in the engine tin? It's been decades since I hooked up a throttle cable to carbs and don't remember how I did it, and I was less picky back then about how I did things. I'm completely ignorant about options and what a custom spec cable would look like for this application.


I didn't like the way the stock cable fit my carb'ed car so I made a custom cable using motorcycle cable and bicycle brake cable housing. I used a cutoff bolt, center drilled for the accelerator pedal end but the carb end was just cable (not optimal but it's been working for 5+ years with several removal/reinstalls. My cable attaches to the backside of the carb by #1 cylinder and at the stock cable was just too short. It would work but the angles were severe. Now it has nice smooth arches and is buttery smooth. My custom cable is 115.5" long including the 1-1/4" bolt swedged on the end. I should have made 2 for a spare but didn't. I recently removed it and it shows no sign of wear or damage so it should be good for a while.

I'll take one for 1.8 standard. Do you do clutch cable as may combine for UK postage?

Cheers

Sounds good - might as well take both if you're shipping one.

We are looking at making an improved version of the throttle cable utilizing 1/8" stainless cable. we will be using the architectural cable we use in the railing systems with a 1500 lb load rating. 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?
