Thread: Seat Cable

  1. #11

    Re: Seat Cable

    I'm pretty sure my cables are longer than 30 inches but they only have a 'ball' on one end. I'm sure something can be fashioned, or clamped on the remaining end. I'm assuming that your cable was one piece from the factory? So maybe they fed the cable through then put the ball or other end on after it was fed through the housing?

    I'm thinking a standard brake cable with a straddle cable clamp on it.

    A google image search gives this as an example. $11 is insane. We used to have tons of these lying around and I'm sure you can get one from the LBS for free or a couple bucks if you rummage through their junk bin.

    Clamp that on the cable and use a dremel or something similar to cut that square hole for attachment. If a bike brake cable is too thin get some really thing cable from the hardware store and put a clamp on both ends. With a dremel, pliers and/or file you can rig some thing.

    @Mike, if the cable's steel you can pick up that type of end from either a carburator shop or boat shop, they used them w/ throttle linkages BITD. Skip the junk bin, go for the service counter and look under it to see what sort of pile of scraps and leftovers they got. I've seen shops w/ wine crates full of unused new cables and various housing lengths.
