In order to get that kind on the cable I would have to cut off the crimp at the end in order to slide it on. Then recrimp. Oh never mind that is for the entire cable.

Re: Show me your TV / throttle cable bracket

So what it boils down to is the adjuster is not pulling out of the cable ( which it is not at wot)

So I don't have to press in the D and let it ratchet out and all that as described in lesson 101?
