BigIsland620 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Anyone got one of these? Bought a couple recommended from rockauto which didnʻt fit. Didnʻt match up with the firewall like my old one. Heres a pic of my old one that broke. Its the exact one I need. Been buying blind too much...my fault. The exposed silver is just the inner casing that I stretched on accident in my frustration. Thanks Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 You might be able to go to a good bicycle shop that does repairs. They might be able to make a new inner cable for you if that is all you need. It might get you buy until you can find one. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Motorcycle shop too. A buddy ran one once and had all the crimping tools. Made lots of cheddar making custom brake and throttle cables. Link to comment
yello620 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think that i have one. About how long was yours before it got stretched? Link to comment
BigIsland620 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think that i have one. About how long was yours before it got stretched? The cable broke and was about 20.25 in. The sheath stretched after i tried to take off the part that goes through the fire wall to try to use again. Link to comment
yello620 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) The one that i have, the sheath is about 12.5" at the mounting points and the cable is about 19.5" long. The corner part tubing parrt in the sheath makes it a little hard to measure exact. This cable has a couple minor kinks in the cable near the throttle pedal end, but the kinks are not in the sheath. Should work fine. Edit: I found a small separation in the sheath part of the cable that was covered by the outer abrasion sleeve. Still doesnt seem to be hurting how it functions, but not something that i would feel right about selling. Would ship it(on your dime) if you want to try it out.
