Vehicle wiring products list quarter inch ones??

1/4" works out to 6mm doesn't it? yeah that should be the one. its only for a throttle cable. the nipple is to go on the carb end of the zx9r carbs.

anyone got a spare one or two?

Have you look at the chocolate block connectors at B+Q? The biggest ones of those have fairly sizable metal inner which you can take out (take out both the screws and slide the metal bit out)....

^ interesting idea, but the cables would go through those the wrong way

1/4" is 6.35mm - to fit the bike carb it will need to be 6mm .
I use bike throttle cables - right end for the carbs/throttle bodies , and then make the pedal to suit (a tight nipple will soon break )

i have got the bike throttle cable out there, but i've also already got the pedal. it won't fit both.

i'll have a look to see if it'll work if i cut the nipple off the pedal end to but it round the pedal and throughone of those cable clamp things

or see what that bike shop in glasgow has. they do some general cable kits
