Throttle cable question(s)

Thanks Bob, Lokar for me is a last resort. I used one when I had the DQ on the 273. I've sent a local bike shop a pic, we will see. Take up the frickin slack with fishing weights and just leave the end sticking outta the pedal anyway...

Nope. They just get a new cable if they cut one too short.

I don't think that ball is even crimped, more likely installed on the cable while it's molten.

I gave up on factory cables and switched to the adjustable Lokar type. They're cheap on Amazon, seems like I paid less than $15 for the last one I bought.

Yes I know that is a 2-bbl bracket, and yes I know I need to change it. It worked for now until I make another Mancini order.

I couldn't find a photo of the full install but it comes with a gadget for the end of the cable and a ball. Bolt the ball to the carb linkage, and plug the gadget/cable on the ball. The firewall end has a fitting similar to the one clamped in the bracket. You space it out so it doesn't hit the pedal inside, and thread a nut on it to hold it in place. The deal comes with a cable, or you can just use straight bike parts from Wal-Mart if you mess up cutting it or want to use it on something different.
