pug7 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have a 7 with a sigma 140 engine. On the throttle cable at the pedal end two strands have snapped so the inevitable carnt be far off. Caterham don't stock new cables nor can I track one down anywhere, anyone any solutions? Alternatively anyone know if you can get a new inner with the fitting for the throttle body and a solution to other end to the peddle? I was thinking along the lines of a push bike brake cable but obviously need 2mm cable ...thanks in advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Very odd caterham don't list it. Perhaps give them a call. Oakmere caterham list one on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Looking at my parts picking sheet for my car the part number has a space in it. I wonder it that's the problem. It's a Rover part number SBB10173. It's either a phone call to CC, or other parts suppliers. You can also use Rover parts suppliers (RimmerBros has them cheaper and in stock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkeywood Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 If you can't get a cable then it might be worth looking at motorcycle throttle cable repair kits. I got one for £6 from a local dealer that came in a tin with 1.2m each of 1mm and 2mm cable. One end of the cable had a 5mm fixed bead and there were about a dozen different loose ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I use a bicycle brake cable and a solderless nipple for the throttle end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Rimmer brothers cable looks identical to the oakmere one, the rimmer ones is a better price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug7 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks all some great leads, will look into motor bike cable maybe I can future proof it for any issues further down the line as it ages, or maybe I just build another car...with more umph under the bonnet.

Garth Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 That looks neat Tom - not standard CC if the top of my pedal is anything to go by! Need to get into some machining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
