Length of Throttle Cable...

Sorry, the cars at the exhaust manifold fabricators and I need to order lots of bits as I have a few weeks off to catch up on the build!

What length of cable is required? The MNR one measures?

Thanks,

Chris.

So long as the throttle cable is long enough to get from your pedal to your carbs/ FI without any sharp bends then it should be ok. Just aim for a nice swooping curve and tie up the cable to a chassis rail if required to prevent chaffing (nowt worse than a bit of chaffing). Hope this helps. For info, I have used a shimano XTR brake cable from a mountain bike (teflon coated, pre stretched and designed to be ridden through all sorts of shit without seizing........oh yeah and they are cheap, from any mountain bike website, try wiggle.co.uk or chainreactioncycles.co.uk).





Cheers
