Has anyone an original equipment throttle cable, I'd love a new one but happy to buy a used one.
A loan one for pattern purposes will also be fine.
Currently available ones are a bit different !
Thanks, David.

Hi David.
I can lend you a used original one to copy if you have no joy finding one. It is an SA one but told the same.

Re: Excel SE 87+ MY Throttle Cable
In layout, nowt. But the old cable has less strands than the new one so is slightly stiffer and therefore more robust, or, you could make your own, I used the rear brake cable from a tandem pedal cycle and transferred the ends over on the outer cable.
