[Healeys] Tricarb Choke Cables

[Al Fuller]

Thanks, Dave:



I made the rounds yesterday to a bicycle shop and a newer motorcycle shop
for parts.  At both places the clerks behind the counter had their eyes
glaze over when I told them it was for a car, and couldn't give them their
standard part number so they could pick it off the shelf.



I will look for an older motorcycle shop, or will talk to the Norman Nock
about it.



Thanks for the input!!

Al,

These pictures show the choke cable setup on my BN7. The main cable from the
dash is a standard repro.

 I made the cables to the carbs.

 They are all standard motorcycle throttle parts. This consists of  the
Black Sleeving, the End Caps for the sleeving, the 1/16" stranded (7X19)
Cable, and the Ferrel which is soldered on to the upper end of the cable.

An older motorcycle shop will have all the parts. The newer shops tend to be
like Kmart ,with complete assemblies in little plastic bags.



Good luck



Dave and Daisy
















This shows the sleeving pulled back. Note the end cap. Also the ferrel is
just visible on the brass barrel.






This shows the Ferrel which has a small cup on the large end. the cable is
pushed through and the cable is splayed open a bit, then pulled back in to
the cup and soldered.
