boleropilot Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 G'day youse mob, during the inspections during refurb the throttle cables were found to have worn inners and a couple of broken threads on the inners, so a complete new set is required - does anybody know of a set available, or a builder who can make up a set for me?

farri Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I don`t know what you call a set! I made my own up years ago! A motorcycle shop should be able to make them up for you. Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boleropilot Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 well a set from my point of view is a pair of cables, for a 582 fitted with the oil injection pump (I have one but it's not on this motor) there would be another cable for that I'll talk to the guys at the motorcycle shops in Ipswich, they might be able to help cheers BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Sent my cables to this company to be copied.... https://www.flexibledrive.com.au/product/cables-and-controls Keep your order number and they should be able to make future cables from that. If you have pins/bolts that go through the cable ends, send them too... ( new or unworn ones if possible).They may need to make/machine eyelet holes to suit and measuring worn eyelet holes or bolts will add slop.... Might be prudent NOT to mention it's for an aircraft..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boleropilot Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 thanks m8, much appreciated. the quote I got from an "aircraft engineering" company is $250, of which $110 is "engineer" labour. my initial thought was that it was a bit high but in all fairness it's probably about right (with the bonus of being "aircraft" quality...)

horsefeathers Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I bought mine from Aircraft Spruce in the states. Maybe the Oz distributor can provide it as well. The web link is http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/Engineswithplugs2.php Short or long reach, with plugs up or down versions as well, for approx $36US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hey BP, Get onto Dalby Air Maintenance at Dalby, Glen Shaw is the man to talk to, he reskinned and repainted my drifter and did a really good job, they are all a good crew there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boleropilot Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 g'day Sandy, yeah I did get in contact with Glen but my emails went nowhere, finally got an answer, not sure if I'll go with the quote of around $250... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
