Jeff,
I replaced my throttle cable with teflon coated SS solid wire last year
when the stranded stuff kinked in the throttle box. You can see what I
did in Year #8 Q3 2009 of my build web site (url in signature block).
The wire was purchased from McMaster-Carr. There is a picture of the
stock labels on the page. The rest of the stuff is from ACS.
It seems to be working well for me so far.
Needless to say, you are on your own and your mileage may vary.
Good luck.
Now, if I can only get the Rotax part of the annual completed and the
new brake master installed.
Check six,
Bob Borger
