Pavement pounding might be a good idea with only 3 strands remaining.. ;)

When my throttle cable snapped on the way home from the beach, i gave some mates a set of pliers and they took turns doing power runs.. haha
I ended up using a generic cable i got from a local parts store.
If you want genuine fair enough, but there are other options in a pinch.

I think I remember Ben telling us about how he used his left foot when his cable snapped.

We all know what its like to get anything done, (let alone done right the first time)here on the gold coast, BUT...these guys are an exeption, whole new throttle cable made up, inner & outer, real nice job, was ready to be picked up within 4 hours......quored $50, came in under that at $46-
recommended for any cabling!

If you have Flexable drive Agencies over there they can make a new one from your sample
