Throttle cable

[Meatball]

Does anyone know is it specific to the chim or a borrowed part from another vehicle?
thanks

I believe it is specific and quite expensive if you find one.

I always carry a universal spare I optained from Clever Trevor.

When mine snapped i replaced with a bike cable from halfords 2 year ago as a temporary fix and it is still working now after 10,000 odd miles.

i have a new one but am now just leaving it to see how long it lasts...!

The usual sources are £50, I'm using a lawnmower cable on the twin at the moment
Ill see if i can re use that
Cheers

Yup - thats what i found when i was looking so did a quick bodge and then found a similar land rover one that was about the right size for £15 or £20...couldnt justify £50 on a 'tvr special' part...
