Throttle cable

[Smilin' Jack]

On my Superior engine with the horizontal FI throttle body by precision the Vans supplied 50 1/2 inch cable for the throttle is too short. I ordered from wicks a 6 foot A 800 cable but it does not have the threaded fittings for the throttle bracket which I am having to custom make but would,like the threaded cable with the nuts to secure it to the cold air sump throttle bracket I have made.

I called Vans and was told that the 50 1/2 cable was the longest one they offer now.

Does anyone have a throttle cable number that will work with the threaded throttle bracket fittings? And what the throw 2 1/2 or 3 inches is?

Thanks for the input.

Try McFarlane

I believe you can custom order just about any push/pull cables from McFarlane.

You can also get threaded extensions from Aircraft Spruce...2, 3 and 4" if I remember right?
