Hi all-
After an hour of doing battle trying to install a lovely new heater cable from 914 Rubber, I discovered the tunnel must be pinched at the firewall. I can get a cable through, but not with the end crimp. Where can I source a Heater cable end clamp? And what size(s) do I need. I see bicycle cable caps, but that's not large nor robust enough. Many thanks in advance- Greg |

In addition to what has been suggested, I picked up a set of wire tubing brushes at HF for a few bucks and use them to clean and smooth the insides of the cable tubes, then spray them with lubricant/rust protection before installing new cables. My car was probably a worst case but I've been amazed how much crap comes out of those tubes.
