Mark- I'm in for one for my 6 conv.

Just one question... (Columbo style)

Will this loop up in front of the CV joint, or possibly more smoothly bend around behind it?

I was planning to do a stock cable, so location would not necessarily change, but an extra inch would give it some "slack".

Ok, this has taken longer than I had hoped, but we are looking to nail down the lengths for the custom cables as well as the V8, and Subaru.

We will need to know the length of the actual cable you want, as well as the sheath.

I will PM with nonstandard requests.

PM sent. My WRX with intake manifold reversed will need the cable sheath to be 140cm long measured from the end of the stock-914 cable tube to the stock Subaru cable mounting clip.

Yep, same here. Just not at a stage where I can commit to a length. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Made some great progress on these, however the day job is taking up some additional time in my schedule. Ill be in full production by the end of the month.
Just wanted to update the thread. This will take a little longer than planned, but should be worth the wait.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Here's the 914-6 cable pics and info we pm'd about.

over all length is : 99 1/4'' from end to end

the sheathing is : 41 3/4'' from end to end

the metal threaded part that mounts on the trans bracket is : 55 mm from end to end

the pedal and trans threaded ends for the cup/ball socket is : 38 mm from end to end

cable thickness is 2 mm and has a plastic coating on the cable itself.


The pics of the 6 trans and carb manifolds are so you get an idea on how the cable mounts/runs. Let me know if you need more info.


Luke


But isn't that an extended pivot rod off the RH side inlet manifold,is that stock or part off the RJ conversion parts,intersested to know, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Put me down for 2.

I have had the inner sleeve on two cables crack where it exits the firewall and transitions from the metal ferrule to the black cable housing. (don't remember the brand of cable) The first time I just replaced the cable (0 miles ) the second time I reinforced the break with multiple layers of heat shrink tubing applied while holding the cable straight.

Both times this happened while the engine was out. so unplugging the cable from the metal sleeve leading in to the firewall probably would have prevented this.

Expensive lessons.

Are these new cables reinforced in this area? Would some type of a spring prevent this from occurring again? .

Well the good news is as an actual manufacturer we can make adjustments. We plan to stat here and make adjustments as necessary to make the best product for the application. So we'll start here and will more than likely make adjustments based on feedback recieved.
So the real answer is we will find out.

we are working on a different design that will eliminate the problem.
