172 Phase Quik Throttle Cable Change.

[iPap]

How much are the cables and how hard are they to change?

 

[BenR]

About £17.

They are fiddly, but not hard.

Just tight working conditions as you have to go behind the bulkead lining, and work through the OS wheel arch.

Ben, thank you again for your continued and generous distribution of your knowledge.

I'll be doing that this weekend I think?

No worries, it'll look hard at the beginning, but just follow the route of the original cable and all will reveal itself.

ONly hard part might be locating the point where the cable enters through the bulkhead into the footwell as it more accesable from the OS wheel arch.

Remove the bungs which hold on the bulkhead lining behind ex manifold, peel back a bit and you can access all behind there......use long sleeves or a long protective glove...lots of glass fibre and scratches = itchy all day.

Top tip with the gloves/sleves as I always get cut to ribbons when I work on the thing!
