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. Thanks for this, it's very helpful. Mark, would you be able to post cable lengths for the options you will build? I might need to just wait until I have my engine back in the car to decide what length I want, but this is such a good deal I hate to miss out. These GBs are evil that way.

We will do stock, V8, Subaru, and 914/6. I can do a cable to your specification while in production at no additional charge (unless you add 5' or something like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).

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? "OLAF" I'll take one.... thank you! |

Add me to the list for a custom cable to fit my carb'ed /4. Have you decided on the lengths of the Subaru and V8 cables? Well for this run I'm going to let the Subaru / 8 guys spec it. I would bet there could be some standardization we will see come out of this, so moving forward I could look at stocking. However i will need feedback from those involved. Mark |
