Re: 'T' Throttle Cable

Universal cables are not the answer for sure but I am thinking good throttle cable assys are not that plentiful either if the one on ebay is any indication.

How much space is behind the cable end in the dash? If that cable with the yellowish knob on the far right of Flackmasters photo is a throttle cable it almost looks like the Bowden cable is crimped into a sleeve -- sort of like how the OD cables attach to their housing.

IF there is a crimp that can be split with a Dremel and the Bowden cable pulled out and replaced, then if there is space behind the dash for a couple of split collars a repair squeezing the split tight again to hold the new cable housing like I've done on the OD cables might work. Question would be how the inner wire attaches to the rod. On the OD cables it fits in a small hole drilled in the rod end. Wire is fed thru a half inch or so and a punch apparently smashes and expands the wire end thru a couple of access holes on the side of the rod to keep it in the rod. The throttle cable rod diameter is smaller so maybe the wire end is crimped or brazed to that rod.
