Smithy77 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I ordered a spare throttle cable from Redline recently. I measured it up against the existing cable and, without getting the tape measure out, it was nearly twice the length! I called Redline to ask the question why it was so much longer and apparently the short cable have not been in production for the last 6 months or so, but was assured it will still work OK, only there will be excess cable travel in the engine bay - I've no reason to disagree. Anyone else bought an extra long throttle cable in the last 6 months, and has it fitted/worked OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy77 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 You my Sir are a genius! I was debating whether to return the cable or just keep it... definitely returning it now! Oh by the way, I paid £38 BEFORE VAT.... so £45.60 total!! 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy77 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Revilla, I assume there is a reason you can't simply use the MGB inner cable in the existing k series outer cable, i.e. length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 No - If you have an outer of a suitable length, in good condition - just use it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
