I have made temporary throttle cables from soft steel wire that I tied to a tree and pulled really hard on, to pull it into a very straight wire. Then I just fed it in carefully (well greased) and tied each end to where it needed to go. Depending on how much room you have, you might be able to just tie a short repair piece to the front of your old cable and make do with that spliced repair for the few days that it takes to get a replacement. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
