Hi guys,

My throttle cable is worn out on my Dax rush, any idea where I can purchase a ford sierra pinto throttle cable?

Thanks B

I just use a heavy duty motorcycle throttle cable in whatever length required, think out sleeve is 5mm. Loads of it on eBay

Thanks buddy!

The problem it comes with a type of half moon cylinder ball at the top of the cable that goes into the lever and the 'barrel' type at the end to the carbs. Ive found similar online but not exactly.
Might need to modify the lever at the top then.

Try a cycle brake cable.

Thanks guys, I might be able to cut off the nipple and tighten up a new one.

Cheers lads

You could try Burton Power - pretty handy for bits for Ford car and engine bits.

Thanks, I did find them online for Ford cables but the fitting wasnt the same.
Its very unique and different. I managed to find a local shop who will custom make it.
