Throttle Cable
Hi all,
I'm on the verge of getting this A4 running for the first time in some 20 years....in a boat that hasn't seen the water in just as long, so much to do. A friend gave me a nice, new Teleflex control cable to use as a new throttle cable (I bought the MM choke cable already). Problem is it is a universal cable with clamp style ends on both ends. Does anyone have any advise on adapting this cable to work as a panel mount without buying the $85 DC Control kit from Teleflex? Hate being on a shoe string, so always willing and prepared to get creative when need be as long as it's not too Rube Goldberg. |

Not real sure of your set-up but something to consider: look to a "truck shop" such "drive products". I would imagine one made to fit perfect would cost $100 in the US...or less. They make these up for tractors, dozers, farm gear etc etc...I had one made about 7 years ago and still works perfect. They will use Stainless steel ends as well if you ask.

Tangaroa3, I have a 1973 complete set for sale. Morse model, throttle, gear levers, and both cables. It works well.

Thanks Sony2000. I don't have that set up on my boat. Just a simple gear lever with choke and throttle push/pull control cables on the engine panel.
I think I'll just end up buying the MMI panel mount throttle cable and be done with it and know I've got a simply install instead of trying to make something work. |
