Subject:      Throttle cable on inline-4 conversions
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Can any of you who have inline-4 conversions tell me what kind of a throttle
cable you are using? My recent acquisition (82 GL formerly Diesel) which has
the homemade Scirocco 1.8 engine conversion has a less than satisfactory
throttle cable arrangement.

The PO extended the cable with one of those cable splicers used on dune
buggies. He says he's used it for 5 years w/o any problem. However, it is
beginning to bind around the splice area. The friction is at a point where it
is noticeable at the gas pedal. I'd like to get a longer cable if one is
available. Any suggestions?
