[T3] Bad day at the (FI) office

[William J]

 I've only had a throttle cable break right at the point where it has the L 
type bend at the pedal . I noticed at that time there is a white roller held 
in place by an E clip and the roller rides in a long wide slot in the under 
side of the pedal . MIne is a 73 so the entire thing may be different . On 
the late throttle cable at the IAD the cable end is threaded and uses a 
small nut and barrel to adjust it.
