Yerf throttle cable!

[950speed]

Switching over to a ex17 Subaru on my Yerf dog. Well there are two issues

1. The end of the cable has a barrel on the end, and throttle lever has no way to attatch a cable like that.

2. The cable only has 1 inch of available room to move backwards and forwards.

(Neither picture is mine, but just used as a reference, red arrow shows barrel I was speaking if)

Any ideas as to what to do, I know I could buy a new cable, but I’m trying to use what I have. Ideas??

You can get a mountain bike universal length brake cable, cut off the ends and size to length...
Walmart and bicycle shops should have it...

Yes but I wanted to see if there was a way to make due with what I already have.

 

[mckutzy]

Then cut it off...

Yes, but still it is too short, does anyone have an idea for a “bracket” of sorts?

Just get a new cable. I have used the ones from the local bike shop, and honestly I think that they're better than the go kart cables that I've used. I can get 8 or 10 ft for $10, and they have a barrel on one end and a mushroom on the other.

I suppose I will do that because there’s no ideas, thanks guys!
