throttle cable
Hi, I have just had to buy a new throttle cable for my samurai, i have brought the original part, but the nipple at carb end is too large to fit on the su throttle, i have seen on some forum that i need to grind it down, has anyone ever done this, if so do i use an angle grinder, i would imagine this would be difficult and too harsh or is there a simpler way of doing it......thanks

Re: throttle cable
If you're not enough of a surgeon with an angle grinder, I'm sure you could use a file instead, it'll just take a while.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Vice and file me thinks
One false move with the grinder and the nipples on the floor along with your fingers

Re: throttle cable
I agree, grinder is a bit dodgy. a file it is....
