Subject: re: Throttle Cable end

[Patrick Anderson]

So I forget who had the piece that breaks fabbed up out of metal. Do I smell 
a group buy/fabrication effort like the metal dist. gear? Who was it and can 
you have more made for the folks that have broken them? I know they 
mentioned some welding was involved on their solution but maybe some person 
w/ more time than I could find somebody to make these up for those that need 
them?

My personal MacGyver story....driving home from work....engine suddenly revs 
to redline and stays there. I turned off the ignition almost instantaneously 
and coasted into a fire station where I discovered the problem. Walked 
across the street to a bakery and literaly asked "do you have some tape and 
a paper clip i can have". Lady gave me a weird look but was kind enough to 
oblige. Turns out I didn't even need the tape =). Got her home where we were 
able to implement a slighlty more permanent, although jurry rigged, solution 
in place that has lasted a couple of years now.
