Ill take 2 4cyl cables.

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.

I'll take two for a stock 4 cyl

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

Chris

I have yet to make the clutch, but I do plan to go there. I have the commercially available German ones in stock

Ill take 1 also

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

Cheers

I'm in

Looks like I'm turning metal this next week.
Mark

I need one as well...great timing. Thanks for all the great stuff you make!

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 ).

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

Improved version of the stock cable? I'll bite. '71 1.7l

I'll take one! What's the ETA?

-Steve

All the pieces coming together will be about a month.

I am in for the 6 version.

Put me down for one - 4

I am in for a subaru version. One please.
Rich

I'm in for (1) stock -4 cable. Thanks Mark for the stuff ya do..

I'll take one stock, for a -4.

I'll take (2) Subaru with a little extra length (need to conform measurement) and one for a stock -4.

Thanks!

I'd be in for one for a six conversion

Put me down for a 6 cable please, and when its ready i'll add to the order....

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?

Please put me down for a /6 and a /4

thanks
Pete

HI Mark,

Need a Stock 6 cable... let me know..

Thanks,
Harry

stock 1.8 L-jet and a spare.... 2 for me.

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

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?


- Harry

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.

I am in for the -6 version.

Jeff B

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.

Sorry but my car is not ready to measure what the cable lengths are.. Guess I am no help.

Yep, same here. Just not at a stage where I can commit to a length.

Count me in for 1, late model 4, EFI.

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

Interested in stock cable for 1.8 & 2.0 F.I. and a couple for 4 cyl. carb conversion.

I’m in for a 6

I'm in for one

I’d like one for a 1.8 L jet!

Would need one for a 914-6. Thx

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,

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.

Put me down for one.

Ill have one also
