Hi All, I need a new throttle cable, mines completely shot, has anyone got one they could sell me?
Looking to put the tub on next weekend so the sooner I can get one the better :)

Thanks very much

Ollie

When mine snapped I needed a solution quickly so I went down to the local parts shop an bought a remote fire extinguisher pull, removed the centre cord / chopped the handle off and threaded it down the D's old outer sheath.

That said I did buy a 'genuine' cable from Ed, which I still have somewhere if your desperate.

Remember to get a load of light oil down there first to fend off corrosion.

I got mine at a B&Q home improvement type place where they see the bare wire by the ft/m. You will need to crimp something on the end that attaches to the pedal.

I put some antifreeze in the sheath also. Part of the de-ice recall procedure.
