accelerator + Clutch cables?
One of my next jobs is to sort out the gas and clutch cables.
Now TBH i don't have a clue really how im supposed to do this? or what sort of cable Etc to use.
The engine is a 2008 R1 in a Indy R.
So if anyone can give me some tips or/and images that would be great.
cheers

For the clutch cable I managed to use the original R1 cable but with a solderless nipple at the pedal end. For the throttle I used a bicycle gear
cable with a solderles nipple at one end to adjust the length. I did start off with a brake cable but the gear one was better around the tight bend
at the throlle body.

Thanks, so are these the right ones?

Throttle: BEC Throttle Cable, Kit Car , Westfield, MAC#1, MNR | eBay
Is there anything else that would be needed?

Cheers

That's the same Venhill cable I used. I wouldn't use anything else after having other universal cables play up.

ok i have recieved the venhill cable, but not sure how to install it.
ive got the nipple on the one end of the cable going onto the clutch lever, then ive slided the outer onto the inner.
now does the outer actually attatch to the inner somehow? or does it just stay loose?
and how does the cable adjuster work?
does anyone have any pics or diagrams that would help, as i just can't work out how its ment to fit.
cheers
