She shed her throttle cable Tuesday night on the way home but with so much torque available made it home having "jury rigged" the throttle at 900 rpm with a tywrap" she made it effortlessly from Dartmouth to home - try that on the newer generation Aero's or CXes..

Looking forward to getting my 48" chest and 17.75 Stones into the footwell to replace the cable on our return from our holiday in Eire. farmer budster

It's a good job my good lady is a yoga expert and could easily slip inside a Coke bottle around 8.5 Stone wet and a 10/12 as it'll save me taking the seat out.



BHM had a couple in stock and it will probably arrive today, they are good Sarah and the team.

During my routine maintenance a few years back, I noticed a broken strand at the throttle body end and several broken adjacent to the adjuster by the bulkhead, just where it leaves the pedal.
Having seen the exorbitant price of a replacement, as the outer was still perfectly good, I used the cable repair kit in a tin from Carbuilder Solutions (CRKIT currently £12)
This contains two long inners of different diameters and a host of ferrules to suit any occasion . Worked a treat and I now always carry one in the tool rack as it hardly takes up any space at all.
