6volt to 12volt accelerator cable prob
sgetty - April 12th, 2008 at 07:46 PM

hey all helping a friend do 6 to 12 volt conversion on his 67 bug and once we put the spacer under the carbie the acelerator cable isnt long enough to do up. Anyone else had this problem? when i did mine i just ground the side of my alternator so the carbie wouldnt foul on it, so i didnt have a prob but i wasnt going to that on his.
any help would be appreciated
cheers deon

when doing supercharger fits i often come across that problem but have found a cheep and easy fix by using a electrical cabel joiner block and cutting away all the plastic cover you are left with a brass 2 screw block and the joining is as easy as pasing the two ends through the block and tighten down the screws

yea i was in the same boat as greedy,
i went to a bike shop and got them to make a 3.5m throttle cable up and just cut it to length
cos its running in its own outter sheath its alot smoother in operation but mine also had to go thro a couple of pretty wild bends

every thing about is pretty wild not that there's anything wrong with that
