Broke My Bl**dy Throttle Cable

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

whist testing the butterly opening today i heard a snap and thought i had snapped the cable, turns out its the white plastic bit on the end.

 

can anyone reccomend a decent upgrade or alternative to save this happening again? is there any decent universal kits available?

 

this is a bit of a poor type of fitting surely? were they upgraded on later models?

just fit a new cable kit, and make sure the pedal hits the bulkhead/stop at the same time as the throttle hits WO, rather than being under tension when the throttle itself hits the stop

oh right , never even looked under that area so didn't know there was a stop.

 

it broke though on half throttle, so i was assuming the cable end wasn't up to the job (and tbh i have some strong springs on the return so that might be the cause)

 

do you know how much the cables are from peugeot?

from peugeot about twice as much as GSf sell good quality ones for.

Throttle stop is just the floor.

£16 for a new kit from GSF i got charged last week i think, that was a BX one but same end and a longer cable you can cut to length

I fitted a universal kit this winter and it was damn cold and the little 'barbs' snapped off as i fitted it, the plastic is brittle. Luckily i had the old one intact which I guess is original PUG and it's a better quality plastic for sure,
