wild bill Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Mornin AllMy rebuild is almost complete. I run a 2.3 Duratec in an S3 chassis and the accelerator cable runs from the PB along the chassis rail, across the front cross members then along and comes up underneath and afixes to the butterfly on my Jenveys. ISTR it was a rover cable but Caterham want a bloody fortune for one.I have now replaced the standard ford rocker cover with a raceline cover so i no longer need a bodge filler cap or a bonnet hoop as everything fits correctlySo qusetions are:1) Is there another source to purchase and a part number for the existing cable2) What about a shorter cable running into the top of the butterfly? ISTR this makes a less progressive throttle and i cant see what route it would take or whether tghis is even feasible. BUT it would take the tghrottle cable away from the promaries as the main advantage (although with lagging i've not had a problem in 9 years)What do others with the same set up do?Heeeeelp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 MTB brake cable, stainless version, with lined inner, lube with light oil on build and take care dressing the ends of the outer cable if you need to cut it down if you need to negotiate tight radius you can use noodles too.

BBL Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I just searched the terms "throttle cable" and got loads of hits offering cables likely to be suitable, but the Speedy Cables link above looks like a great resource. Unfortunately for me, South Wales is a bit far for me to go for a cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
