T1 Fan Housing Throttle Cable Tube
Does anyone know where I can get a NEW T1 Fan Housing Throttle Cable Tube?
I know I can get one from CSP in Germany. I believe theirs are made in Germany.
I want quality!

You can always try these out. I have bought one, but not fitted yet.

but its alot of work when a few correctly sized washers, a piece of fuel hose and a clamp do the job just as well with no fabbing needed

Hi
The good thing about having it secured is that if you break a cable you can feed it all the way though without getting under car as long as you have
the sheaf over the transmission in place.
Just getting back to the original question, just find a tube that fits in the "over the transmission sheaf" snugly and the weld tag on like Joel and
I did.
