throttle cable
Does anybody have a throttle cable they are willing to part with? Mine broke this evening and after a wonderful drive a couple miles through the city with only full throttle and engine-off I have the truck at home. Just the very tip of the actual cable is broken so if anybody has any ideas of what I can use to replace that I would also be greatful. Or maybe there is something that cross-references?
thanks

I believe...
...the rx-4 and cosmo units cross over. The trick is finding one... Try asking matt@always-jaguar.com , sometimes he has some oldschool rotary parts...

Throttle Cable
What ever you do, DON'T throw away the old one as it can easily be repaired, the housing is vitually unobtainable.

so the cable itself can be rebuilt? Does that mean there is such a thing as universal cable? Please elaborate.
thanks

Apart from the cable housing...
...(and ends), it's probably a totally common cable... and ends can be pressed/swaged/clamped on, I would think... Meanwhile it's at least as much a pain in the ass as parking brake cable-and-housing combinations that are 'obsolete'...(like for my '83 Ford van...) Always handy to be able to run one, while repairing the other... Try doing a search on '1974 mazda' in ebaymotors...should bring up a bunch of rx-4 parts right now...perhaps the person who's parting that one still has the cable?

Till last night I used electric fence wire crimped on the end of the cable with an electrical butt splice connnector. The cable finally frayed too much so I pulled the cable out of the brake on a bicycle and stuck it in the housing, no problem
