Anyone know...

You will have to forgive my ignorance but im not very mechanicaly minded (wish i was).

I would like to know the name of wotever it is that holds the throttle cable to the arm/spring thing on the left hand side of the carb as i need a new 1............basicaly i had a throttle cable changed by a local garage a couple years back and when i got it back the throttle cable was held in place with a everyday plastic electrical connector block (to stop it pulling off/out) ahh ****,not explaining this very well,ill get a pic up tommorow,sorry.

yeah put a pic up, i assume you mean the little clip thing?

electrical blocks work a teat, or a earth pin from a 3 pin plug after a quick angle grind
they dont fall off like the proper end cap that comes in the cable kit.

i think u mean a ferule(spelling?).slips over the inner cable and is then swaged on to it using a special crimper pliers!!

heres some pics as my explanation was a bit crap.......when i had the engine rebuilt last september by BB tuning i thought they would have changed it for the correct part but it was still there when i got the car back and it looks like its catching on the spring so does this mean i would have to buy a complete new throttle cable kit or can i just buy the part on its own?. (the engine/throttle seems to work ok like this but i want to sort it as it looks bodged to me)

I have one of them fitted to mine, it works a treat.

Those connectors work perfectly, i've been using one for about five years . Cut the plastic off it though.

You can keep a couple of spares in the car as well, just in case it pops off.

Ahh thanks lads for the info,ill keep it then an save some cash.

Also sorry for starting this thread.........i have just noticed someone else posted exactly the same problem in another thread,was too tired to notice last night.

[Russgt5]

Is the proper part,part of a throttle cable kit then or can u buy it on its own as i would rather have the proper part but most seem to use the blocks?
