Need for reproduction throttle cable?

Post by zippy67roadster »

[align=center]I was looking to have new throttle cables made and wanted to see if there was any interest. They will have the proper fittings on each end and the spring as well. The cable will be a modern version that should wear better and last longer. The cost will tentatively be $60 per cable shipped in the US.[/align][/color]

I have as well but these would be brand new with a new spring and the proper fittings crimped onto the modern cable.

I also replaced mine with a bike brake cable with good results and no issues.

Zippy, this was also a part that i worked up, but I still have some NOS. Have you actually made these yet?

Cool race video! That was a quick little bugger out in front of you. Nice run!
