You have another best solution :
Use a stainless steel piano wire diameter 1.5 mm, you add a graphite grease into the sleeve and it is cheaper and better than cables.
I use that 10 years ago and it is perfect no cables problems.

I've been thinking of replacing my cables with the piano wire you speak of. Do you have any pictures or can you tell me how you connected to the throttle handle and to the carb lever?
Thanks,

Jeff,
I replaced my throttle cable with teflon coated SS solid wire last year when the stranded stuff kinked in the throttle box. You can see what I did in Year #8 Q3 2009 of my build web site (url in signature block).
The wire was purchased from McMaster-Carr. There is a picture of the stock labels on the page. The rest of the stuff is from ACS.
It seems to be working well for me so far.
Needless to say, you are on your own and your mileage may vary.
Good luck.
Now, if I can only get the Rotax part of the annual completed and the new brake master installed.
Check six,

Yes - I ordered quite a few bits before Christmas - most arrived on time (but they sent the wrong springs) except for 8 brake pads & rivets (I ordered two complete sets - 4 for me and 4 for a friend with a Europa) and the die set. After many excuses the brake pads arrived about 2 weeks ago - instead of 8 they sent 6 - no die set. Eventually the extra 2 arrived plus the die set a week later.
Total of 5 telephone calls and two emails - they were very apologetic and put it down to a reorganization of the spares dept and problems with suppliers.
They debited my card for everything before Christmas - I am not a happy bunny.

On the other hand I ordered a set of matco Master cylinders and part of a speed kit at Christmas and both were delivered the first week of January,
No complaints here,
Ivor

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Kevin,
Sorry for your parts delay. Karen, Fiona and I have all checked with the contracted supplier and choke and throttle cables will not be available until Mid March. (Production date of delivery was Mar 15, 2010.) They are the only supplier which can make our urgent need. I have checked my stores here in the states and don't have a spare either. Our only recourse was to cobble up parts to make a one off, from other suppliers which required other parts and a non standard setup. I advised that this was not the course to go and suggested that you be advised of the delay.
My apologies if you were not advised of the above problem we are having on this critical FWF item.
