Cable Boots
Smiley - June 19th, 2013 at 05:55 PM

Hey all.

I have a picture here I saved ages ago cause I thought it was a cool idea, not sure who's car it is anymore.

I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get some boots like the one in the picture?
Looking to seal my clutch and accelerator cables up a bit better.

Thanks everyone.

Try a motorbike parts place, lots of bikes have them on the clutch and brake cables.

This is a good idea. mine has one of the stock rubber boots and generally comes off every second trip.

Hows alyce shaping up?

New body has been blasted. Lots of rust. Need to replace both heaters channels, front door pillars, front inner guards, a large section of the firewall and the bottoms of both doors.

So time for some welding practice. I will try and get keen and do an update with pictures soon.

Also used on late 90's/early 2000s heater control cables in the engine bay or cable clutches but bike part might be easier to track down.

I'm sure I've seen them on the throttle cable on most early to late japanese cars.. maybe they still use them...?

On the way to the Gold Coast VW show, Alyce laid down and had a nap cause she was tired. Unfortunately it was on her roof :(

Bugger. I know what that is like.

You needed rollover roof racks like I had. :-)
