I've just replaced my throttle cable for the 2nd time in around 4k miles. The repair was carried out by the side of a road in Chianti shire (where by the way, the worst roads in civilised Europe seem to exist). I had noticed that the cable I replaced first stretched considerably in a short space of time, this prompted me to carry a spare.
My car is on Jenvey throttle bodies so i guess there maybe additional pull required to overcome 4 throttle body springs compared with standard car. I also noticed that there seems to be a lack of any mechanical stop under the throttle pedal to prevent too much force being exerted at the butterfly control assembly as on most cars. Is my car missing something do others have mechanical stop, a bolt that can adjusted in length to allow full throttle opening but no more thus not exerting too much tension on the cable.
Other than than that ,there's a company in Nottingham, cable tec I think who do custom cables with info in maximum loads that they are capable of handling.
Seems like a sledge hammer to cracking a walnut but maybe that's the way
