OK not having much luck with the rear drive shaft so gonna move on to other jobs for a bit, so need to get new throttle cable, is there a good make to go are the universal ones OK? And with my carb set up I can run twin cable if I like is it a good option to or better to run just one cable ?

I found these guys originally on eBay. I've used them since IVA and never had any cable issues. The universal kit has all the bits needed to suit your carbs/throttle body and more than enough cable for you to suit your own length.

Pedal end, I currently loop it though some brake pipe bent at 180deg through the pedal and a cable clamp however looking to go for a more robust clevis pin with proper cable fixing. Saying that, its worked since IVA so probably wait until it fails lol.

From my experience recently running a twin cable for my throttle bodies, I would strongly suggest a single cable. It will take a lot of effort to get the two cables acting perfectly together, especially if one is under more tension than the other, they can stretch at different rates meaning more problems.

This works well for me.

I have a sierra throttle pedal with the ball at the top, and twin 45 dellortoes.

The throttle pedal block has some movement to allow for small cable length differences.

The return springs on my dellortoes take a bit of pulling, so twin cables provide

a belt & braces solution.

Can't go back that far on my eBay purchases but if you email them telling them what setup you have they will get back to you straight away. It's one of the reasons I use them ,they know what they are talking about so I know I am going to end up with the correct part
