How To Guide Source of throttle cables found!

[Smudgemanuk]

The throttle cable (pt num 35411164834) on my 2.8 z3 needed replacing.

BMW don't make them anymore so I had to source elsewhere
I found JJ cables on Facebook, based in Banbury, others I know have had great experiences with them

He said he cannot reuse the hook on the pedal end of the cable
So we found a triumph clevis (that JJ has in stock)(pic attached) that goes over the hole where the hook went, and then a pin goes through it

I couldn't use the original gromit so I cut a piece of hose pipe to stop the pin from rattling around. You wouldn't believe how well this fitted

JJ was quite busy, but he did it for a very reasonable price.
So the cable now has a brand new inner and outer, and looks brilliant

Thanks to JJ cables for that

Chris.

Did they reuse any of the original cable ?

 

[Smudgemanuk]

They only reused the outer mounting parts like, the gromit near the brake servo, and the bit that goes through the firewall

So in summary they only reused the bits they could not recreate as they are BMW special
