Bowden control cable parts in Glasgow
« on: September 27, 2017, 10:57:26 PM »
Does anybody know of a supplier of Bowden control cable parts in the Glasgow area? The mower needs a new choke cable and it is NLA. Went to a bike shop but they only had stranded cores rather than a solid single core.

Thanks

Would it work with braided if you put a big spring on for the return?  Choke won't be on for long - you could hold it against the spring.

Defender heater cables are solid inside and probably about the right lenth, cheap too

Try eBay? I found one for my mountfield on it
I'm not lost I'm just slow getting there.

Thanks for all your suggests. I found a universal fit one in one of the miscellaneous boxes of junk in the garage. No idea why I had it or when I bought it but the faded price tag was 95p! Works a treat.
