I think the 4cylinder cable is actually the longer of the 2. Also the rear cable ends is different for the 4 and six...

why do you need a longer throttle cable in the firstplace?

Yep, Brant. I think the /4 cable is longer by a little bit. But the whole throttle linkage setup on the /6 is different (I know YOU knew that).

yeah...
the 4 end is a threaded rod, and the 6 end is a ball / cup set up...
speaking of which.
Does anybody have an extra (broken 6 cable?) one of these cable ends. Does porsce sell just the cup side. I'm doing some fabrication weird stuff, and need to find one of these 6 cable ends to weld to one of my parts...
Lawrence (anyone), Do you have any broken/trashed 6 cable that you could sell the end from?

Nope, I sure don't. But I know that Rich Johnson makes his own 914/6 throttle linkage parts. (I bought a piece from him). He might be able to square you away. a914guy@aol.com

I made my own pieces too.. but out of aluminum.
I'm converting a 4cylinder cable to work on a 6 cylinder linkage... (rich's response: why would you do that?.. my answer is that I already have beaucou 4cylinder cables, and can always come up with a 4 cable at a track event if needed. Plus they are cheaper, and my pieces are lighter than his.)
I just gotta find one cable end to finish the project.
So if any of you 6ers out there break a stock cable and want to sell the old end instead of throwing it away.. feel free to email me

TIA all....

The 4cyl cable is a little on the short side with a V8 conversion. I need just a few more inches.

why don't you screw on an extension to the threadded rod-end.
this is basically what I'm trying to do with my plans for a -6 end.
