Does anyone know a reputable company that will make me a custom cable for my van; I need a throttle cable that is about a foot longer than standard so its a very simple cable. Everywhere seems to be extortionately priced and the turnaround is not very quick. Anyone know of a company that could do it for me, reasonably priced and quite quickly???

You can easily do it yourself. Most bicycle and motorbike shops stock it on a roll. It's called Bowden Cable. You can either buy solderless ends to suit, or solder "proper" ones on. The shop that sells the cable will / should supply those "ends" or you can unsolder your old ones. I bet you can get these items on Ebay as well. I have done just this when mine broke last year and I needed a very quick fix. Works just fine

Here are some ends = LINKY

These people HERE will do it, that listing is just for inner cable I think, but they are bound to do outer as well

theres a company in birmingham called eskadeen(think thats how its spelt)i had a tour of the place recently as company i work for have powdercoating done by them,they also make cables for classic cars and custom made cables.i may be able to sort it if you have a standard cable.

RJES does a modualr accerator cable for the scoobie conversions that can be made to do pretty much anything, Richard is brilliant at that sort of stuff and his cables are better than the original set up
