FridgeFreezer Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Does it have to be handbrake cable? (Motor) bike control cables are one option although they're not uber chunky. Auto-box shifter cables are fairly hefty, as are powerboat control cables which I'm pretty sure can be made to measure. IIRC they're called Bowden cables but I'm sure a grown up will be along to correct me soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supply them in all sorts of sizes from throttle cables toi pish control cables.... Length overall, requitred length of travel in which direction, what ends and what strength are the sort of criteria needed to make up a cable... How flexible will it need to be? And what environment ( heat / dirt etc ) Usual applications I supply are small for throttle / clutch getting bigger for gear change paddles... that sort of stuff David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I have delt with these people on a few occasions: http://www.speedycables.co.uk/ They work as their name suggests. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
