Replacign throttle cable HELP!

[AshleyO]

OK

Throttle cable just broke! Right where the wire goes into the screw end

It is certainly not a standard Rover V8 3.9 fitting, so I can't call Rover

It has two sets of nuts to secure it by and screw ends that fit into cup and socket ball joints

Where on earth do I start to try and find a replacement for these

Been surfing the web today and no definitive answer

Thanks

If you just need to replace the inner cable, bicycle brake or gear cables work, that's what I used last time mine broke! Try Halfords.

You could try Speedy Cables if you need to get something made up I believe they make the cables up themselves

If you want to keep it as original then Speedy cables will have something. If it's broken right at the nipple then there's a problem with the run of the cable & it'll do it again. Try to make sure the cable does not flex within - say - 1/2" of the nipple.

If you want to replace with something else look up "jagwires" on Ebay, they make cables for bikes but the inner & outer are PTFE coated so they're smooooooooth & the outers come in a selection of "funky" colours. Bear (bare?) in mind that brake cables are thicker than gear cables. I have a double cable on mine so if one breaks I'm not stranded, though neither has yet.
