Any know of an easy or approximate substitute for a series 2 foot pedal to throttle accelerator cable?
Finding one is proving hard and trying to figure if I can get a 'near enough' in another more common card at a wreckers.
Obviously I need to get the length close and the ends similar enough.

any suggestions?



two hex nuts at necks and a U bracket of sorts with a hold for a pin....

 

Have you considered a Series III XJ6 cable? They are still available brand new.

Doug's idea sounds good.

I've used bicycle cables like the one linked below. The last lump I did had a large bore throttle body with a heavy spring and it worked very smoothly.

arggh! gave away my series 3 cable with the efi engine about two months back, the guy buying said it wouldn't work with series 2
bike cables.. hmmm, interesting idea.
sounds like a routine cable will do the task if i match the length.

 

Lockar (?) is a maker of various shifter components, including cables.


1. David Boger of everydayxj may have a good used one or even NOS.


2. Johnscars in Fort Worth, Texas stocks a lot of Jaguar parts.


3. Me thinks the S3 cable can be adapted. When, I did my lump, I used the existing cable. Too long, so I cut it to size. I made an adapter to the GM throttle capstan. A small bolt and nut and a
brass locking device for wire.


4. Motorcycles use a variety of sheathed cables....


5. Is the problem with yours, a bad housing or a busted end?

I'm not sure, but it'll probably be 'near enough', to use your words
