Throttle cable question(s)

All the bs of "resto parts" just sucks any enjoyment outta this hobby. I had already "nipped" approx 1/8" off the clamp at the throttle bracket. I wonder if a bike shop would have proper crimping tools if I shortened cable? Or put a longer clevis on the used cable that's too short?
Thanks!
Oh the quality of "Resto" parts.:BangHead:
Hate to say but just go ahead and fiddle with the repop and try to make it work.
Or make a extension on the carb side of the one that is too short.We have done that before.
OR the cable bracket that attaches to the manifold with a extension.
I was looking for photos but have nothing.
