Snapped throttle cable.

[mak]

Just took the old gal out for a spin, bit of pedal to the fibreglass then, O dear! 15 mile drive back home with arm out window tugging on my jeans belt tied to wots left of the cable, man that hurt, along with the indignity Now off to see wot kind of a bh of a job this is along with wot part i can use, save me from the search engine guys and tell me hear

[pilgrim13]

I'm sure the cable is specific to the car and not from something else

Clever Trevor for your cable plenum part is not to bad of a job but the pedal end is a bit tight access is tricky if your a big bloke.
When i did mine IIRC i taped the old to the new cable and pulled them through bulkhead.
Just upgraded this afternoon to the leven pedals so you have to refit the throttle cable and realine the pedal arm.
Now recovering from twisting my back and swallowing a torch

Clever trev it is then, i was hopeing i could get a generic cable from the motor factors but guess not, look forward to a twisted back and a gob full of tourch then lol. At least my wrist has stopped hurting, bloody strange trying to eccelerate with your arm

think there was a thread covering this a few weeks back. ISTR a bicycle cable could be used or a peugeot 306 or similar cable? a search might save you a few notes....

Anything else to them than just being shiny, then? Must say the pedal layout of the Chimmie suits me a lot better for some reason than the Tuscan pedal box, anyway...

High degree of adjustability (heights and position), well judged width and profile, look and work so much better than the rubber jobbies.

Still top hinge, not a Tuscan type set up

Not driven the car yet due to the rain but what impressed me was the gas pedal it adjusts the same as the clutch and brake (threaded bolt)so you have all the adjustments you should need.
Also i had a problem when driving with my work boots pressing 2 pedals at once.
These have offset bolts look at the gas pedal on picture.
