Does anyone know of any alternatives for the throttle cables?
50 a pop does not sit well with me!!!
That seems insane for what they are lol.

I did some searching but haven't had any luck there so chances are this is a dead end.

Thanks
Dave W.

I used some new cabling and smelted on my own barrel ends. Flanders can sell you everything you'll need, but I had better and stronger results using some 'aluma-weld' for the barrel ends instead of lead, silver and/or tin solder.

I posted this all in a thread last year or so ...

Nilla, did you spread out the wires before final soldering? That makes for a stronger joint.

I have a couple of those clamp type ends.
I'm not against using them on the throttle body side.
Right now i have to figure out what size wire..I would guess its 1.5mm but if someone could verify for me.
I would check myself but it will be raining here the next few days and I'm stored outside right now.
What diameters are the ends as well?
I noticed the posted thread for making your own end didn't have alot of specifics.
Again I'd normally just go take a measurement myself but I don't own any snorkeling gear.

Thanks,
fellas.

I have to replace both of the inner cables from my 04 xb 12s at the moment to.
the inner cable is 1,25 mm
and the barrels are 6mm in diameter.

i would use the clamp type only for a road repair or so ,but not all the time!
