[T3] Fwd: Need a throttle cable for a notch

[J L Stamey]

I said screw it and bought a "premade" from ISP, along with some other
parts/stickers.

Their throttle cables, 2642mm = 104.5 inches. I think it'll work fine, if
not, THEN I make my own! ISP was very fair at $3.95 for the cable.

Just FYI. Universal T3 throttle cable @ ISP west:

112721555     ACCELERATOR CABLE     $3.95

I've been making my own throttle cables for years out of 1/16" "wire rope".

I now carry a 1-quart ziplock freezer bag with 25' of wire rope, a
cutting/crimping tool and a few ferules. I've used it several times ... to
fix other peoples cars. Last time I bought wire at the local farm supply
store it was something like 9 cents a foot.

These pictures are not of my type-3, but I do both ends the same way on all
my aircooled cars.
