[Spridgets] Bugeye starter pull cable

[Michael MacLean]

Does anyone have an original Bugeye type starter pull cable that they would
like to sell?  Recently the original cable in my Bugeye that had been in
the car since 1960 was damaged.  The brown wire coming off the negative
post has an eyelet connector with a small bolt where the wire continues to
the voltage regulator.  The steel wound casing of the original starter
cable contacted that eyelet/bolt connection and instantly grounded out to
the body.  Just like a welder it cut the cable and wound sheath in half.  I
bought an original style starter pull cable from Moss.  To their credit it
is a close copy of the original with an engraved "S" on a correctly shaped
knob.  Only one problem, it is about a half inch too short.  Right now I
have it installed, but the braided wire cable is just screwed down in the
steel connector by the very edge of the wire.  The same for the solenoid
shaft on the other end of the steel connector.  I kind of doubt buying
another cable from Moss will be any different.  So, looking for an original
pull cable.  Surface condition of the knob is not important.  I can paint
it black and the "S" white like I did for the original that was in the car
and it looked great for the last 22 years.
