Throttle cable

I got a pic on the way. I just reshaped mine. I had it too high and the acc. cable unscrewed itself from rubbing. lucky me ..I was in the parking lot when it fell out, and I had a tool.

Thanks LPB...knew I could count on ya'!

This is what I took out. You just have to make sure you have enough clerence. I also think it would to have more than 1 screw holding it in.

What does the other end of the new one look like Bill?
I'm thinking of slotting it and putting a #3 rod end on the cable with a bolt to get more clearance.
What do you think?

Doug, My original cable snapped on a ball at the pedal. My new cable has a ball and socket made to stay together. It threads on the cable ends. At the carb I have a locknut, while at the pedal it threads into the accelerator. I got both ends at NAPA. This makes a stronger setup than the original. Now all I need to do is adjust my bolt that makes the pedal stop. I don't want to damage my cable when I "jump on it"

Did you make the new cover identical to the old cover or redesign it?
I may just go with a rod end so it can't slip off the ball. I working out the details.
The thread is very close to a 10-32 sae. The carb end alread has this becasue of the Weber connection to the bellcrank.
Because of relocating the pedals 2" forward, I have had to remout the accellerator seperately to the sheet metal foot box.
I'm still working on all of those stop brakets.
There isn't a lot of room to work down there.

.050 thick aluminum. I used the old one as a guide. Ileft out the hole where the speaker was. I posted it while I did it here. http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6450045562/m/5010043604
