Re: RE:type3 throttle cable (was NEW 69 FASTBACK OWNER)

<x-flowed>I believe that the cable was original,at least
at the pedal end.The dogleg itself is smoothly but not
deeply worn.Your guess is as good as mine as to
why it broke when it did.But I will take your
explanation into account.Sounds logical and
probable to me.
