Hi Jeff,
I had a minor problem with distortion/buckling of the original stranded
throttle cables and changed to wire 2 years ago. I forget now why I was
not happy with the original cable sleeve material but I replaced the
outer Bowden sleeve with ACS item 05-15500 and used 0.062" piano wire.
To connect the wires to the throttle handle cross bolt, I used AN111-3
cable bushings. The wire was formed round the bushings and secured with
safety wire and epoxy. At the carb levers, I used the standard
components. It has worked fine. As you can see in the photo, the wire is
just slightly bowed with the throttle wide open
Cheers, John

I've been thinking of replacing my cables with the piano wire you
speak of. Do you have any pictures or can you tell me how you
connected to the throttle handle and to the carb lever?
Thanks, Jeff R. N128LJ Gold Rush
