Looking for help on the best way to go about trimming the length of the
CT A-740 push-pull cables. That spiral material is a bugger to cut.
Maybe using a tube cutter?

Thanks,

Ok, I was informed of something that wasn't obvious to me. Pull the
cable wire back, then just cut through it at the desired location. I was
trying to figure out how to cut the spiral without damaging the internal
cable wire. Sometimes I miss the obvious. Thanks Joe...

Just be careful, some cables have a small ball and maybe a spring in them for the detents. Just make sure you don't lose it.
