[TR] SU HS6 choke cable on a TR4

[Bob Labuz]

Johnnie,

Thanks for your reply but....

The cable is original but for the stock H6 model carb. It attaches very 
low, not from the top. Just the same choke linkage as a TR3. It is just 
not long enough to reach either the front or rear carb where the cable 
would enter. I got this cable from TRF way back when I restored the 4. 
TRF lists the same part # for both the 4 and 4A so I know if I order one 
of those it will be way too short.

The cable I need must be much longer than the stock one for the TR4.

Bob
