Hi, like many others I have a very stiff throttle pedal, bought a new cable (RHD Auto 2.0 Petrol) When attempting to fit it to the kick down lever the nipple snapped off...nightmare. Any ideas where I can buy a new kick down lever? They don't seem to exist anywhere. Even ebay. Worried. If theres no new ones any ideas of 'creative' ways around it.
Any ideas?

Re: Kickdown Lever snapped? Fitting Accelerator cable
is it possible to get a nipple from a bike shop ?
or get someone to weld a lump onto the cable ?

is it the nipple that the cap/dome thing on the cable clips onto ? if so I had this happen to mine, I levered the old one off and it snapped off the lever, what I did was drill it out and fit one of those nipples things that tailgate shocks clip onto , they're threaded so put a nut on the back just file it down till the cap fits over it .

Small chocbloc? Done up tight? They always worked on broken heat exchanger cables on Beetles....
