Throttle cable - LHD?

Post by sharkjazz »

After reading the spares thread, went off to GSF and grabbed a spare throttle cable.

Was rather pleased with myself for being so organised, only to get home and find out I had the the RHD cable. There is no mention of RHD / LHD on the GSF website, so hadn't thought to check.

Anyway, Can the RHD cable be turned upside down to work in LHD, I guess not but....

Have since search Brickwerks, who do mention RHD but don't seem to have a LHD T25 '88 cable listed :(

They don't have one for a LHD manual diesel that I can see.
