[T3] Accelerator Cable Tube Length

[Brent Bottolfson]

2nd follow up tonight.

I ordered the 600 mm beetle cable and it will not work.  The flanged end 
is correct for the pan side, but the diameter of the other end is too 
large to fit into the cavity in the back side of the forward tin.

If anyone has a Type 3 OE tube in good condition I'd be interested.
