Top hat for cable to p[ass through bulkhead?
eznfrank - 23/2/10 at 02:27 PM

Has anyone found a decent solution for how to secure the cable as it comes through the bulkhead at the pedal end (on an Indy if that makes a difference). I don;t mean the nipple, I mean the bit that stops the sheath moving?

Thanks

If I've read that right then I'm also interested in the answer as I'm sure my outer cable needs some kind of double rimmed top hat fitting to it.

I turned a top hat from a bit of nylon bar and drilled it through then drilled half way slightly larger to hold the cable.

the cable usually (not all of them do though) has a stepped metal end on it that goes into an adjuster. all you need is a plate with the right size hole in it

if your cab;e hasn't got a stepped metal end on it, i'd look for another one that does

i used a rivnut
n tapped a thread on the cable end so it screwed in the rivnut

did the same the other end too

only because i remembered how they used to work on chopper bikes

On our Davrians we use the bottom bit of a rubber snap in tubless tyre valve.
