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

[J L Stamey]

Jim,
Thanks for your response. You too Keith! And whoever else may have
responded.
Shes a 68 german delivery notch. So most likely had dual solexes when she
was born. She now runs dual Weber ICT's. I can pull out all the cable
halves, tape them together and measure them, then do a inch to MM
conversion online. Maybe i'll get back to the list with said measurement.
I've had the car 6 years, she's almost 50 years old!! Who's to say that
this ain't the OG throt cable?!? the "tube" part that runs through the
tunnel looks OK, no jagged edges at all. I think just lots of use..... I do
like to rev her up when I'm pulling in the gas station/grocery store/home
depot/restaraunt/everywhere, b/c everyone is eyeballing her and ooing and
ahhing about WTF is that?!?! LOL
I don't need it fixed anytime soon, but would like to have her runinng
(properlly, not gas via had cable!!!) sometime soon... so I can ooh and ahh
the townsfolks!!

Man, those vids are AWeSuME you guys!! Makes me sad I cannot come to these
T3 fests! Chester VA to Upstate NY is about 9 hours (450 miles) or so. I
really wouldn't want to put "Goldie" through that. She's my "go getter"
car, that's usually all. I've been to Bug Out in northern VA, about 4 hour
round trip, but that's as far as she's been. :)

Not to mention the fact that in march 14 I had back surgery, a fusion b/n
L5 and S1, said surgery did not "fix" me either. :(

maybe a T3 "fest" will be nearer to me one day and I'll come.....
'til then, ride on!!!!

thanks for the help!

There are several different cables, but they only depend on your
carb/FI setup. So tell us what setup you have and we may be able to
recommend something. I have a couple versions in stock.

You should also look to where your old cable broke. There may be
something sharp there that frayed it, because if everything around
the cable is in nice condition, the cables themselves tend to last
forever, unless they are abused.

Thanks Keith!! I thought there may be a diff in lengths for notch, sq and
fast.
I'll reach out to Alex and/or anthony.
I don't drive my T3 enough to warrant cruise control. It'd be nice and I do
love it on my TDi!
many thanks again broman!
:)
