Perhaps I'm not clear on the process, but, what would one use to connect 
the solid cable to the standard Europa throttle arm?  Are the stock 
fittings available without cable inserted?

Thanks,

to make that work. We purchased piano wire from McMaster but it comes rolled
in a 6" diameter coil and we were unable to get the wire straight enough
to work in the housings.

the Bouden cable assemblies with graphite lube.
