[6pack] Was 6PACK Topics - beacme bushings- Is now Speedo Cable

[Navarrette, Vance]

 	trsix:

	I am sure you could swap just the inner core PROVIDED THAT the
outer sheath is intact and in good condition. This means no cracks or
splits on the outer sheath. Corrosion is deadly to the cables, and you
must keep water and grit out of the innards.
	When I have replaced cables it has been because the outer sheath
is split, rusting, etc. If yours is in good condition, a heavy motor oil
can be used to prelube, and then replace the inner works. Should work
fine.
	I suppose that if the old and new pieces were made by different
suppliers or to a slightly different spec (longer, shorter, bigger
diameter, etc) then all bets would be off. I can't say if the cables are
still made to the same specification or not - I have always just
replaced the entire cable. Seems like cheap insurance to me.

	Cheers,

	Vance

Did you find those bushings on ebay? Oh come on, it's winter and I'm
bored!!!!!

Ok serious now. When fitting a new speedo cable can one simply pull the
old inner cable out and insert new or does one need to remove and
replace the entire unit. Are speedo inner cables and outer sheaths made
to match?
Thanks for your help.
