I have seen catalogs where the only throttle cable they > list is one length for the T-3. I can buy really nice 1/16" stainless wire rope in the local hardware store. Maybe I should figure out how to make my own. It should be pretty easy except for the AT which needs the threaded end, although the MT style termination could certainly be used. The only other thing you'd need would be fairly soft tubing of an appropriate diameter. I wonder if 1/8" Cu tubing would work? ;-) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
