HoSS Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm looking for someone who can make up (longer) custom gear shift cables for me, they need to be push/pull obviously. Anyone know of anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aniesigh Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 For my project truck for the autobox i used an outboard boat engine control cable. they're available in a big range of lengths (normaly 25cm graduations) and the ones i used had an m5 thread either end which to which i fitted a M5 rod end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 try looking for BOWDEN cables these are used in aircraft to transmit the throttle movement from cockpit control handle to the throttle box on the engine, http://www.cable-tec.co.uk/applications/bowden_cables.asp http://www.controlsandcables.com/buy-online/control-cables/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I used midwest control for my freespool actuation very recently: Pleased with their quality, but they are american. There are uk distributors, but not quite setup to produce cables just yet. https://www.midwestcontrol.com/ Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Actually, thanks to Aniesigh it seems that marine outboard cables will do the job, and theres muliple lengths available off the shelf and relatively inexpensive. Thanks e.g. http://www.comstedt.se/produkter.asp?vg-1;vt-221 or in the UK http://www.marinescene.co.uk/category/796/teleflex-33c-tfxtreme-premium-control-cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
