Roger Lee Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I replaced a cable one time and it took about 20 minutes. It is quite easy. You will need to crimp a cable end on the end, inside the cabin down by the throttle handle. You want a multi strand cable that is VERY flexible. No stiff cable. Something like a 1x7 or 7x7. Usually the more strands the more flexible. This cable is only about 1.2mm or 3/64". You will have to do an internet search as I don't happen to have a supplier. Make sure to ask them if it is very flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procharger Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I see lots of places that have the cable but most say not for aircraft use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runtoeat Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not familiar with "1x7" or "7x7"? What does this refer to? Maybe the "1mm" refers the diameter of the inside cable? Thinking maybe Jacques has it right for looking for this at a bike shop due to the need for flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It refers to strands and bundles. It tells you a lot about strength, flexibility, and durability of the cable. 1x7 means 1 bundle, 7 strands per bundle. 7x7 would mean 7 bundles with 7 strands each. More wires and bundles means more flexibility, but lower durability and strength due to internal abrasion and stretchability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
