Continuing control cable debacle
The debacle with the control cables just won’t end. I spent a week and a half working with Spruce to see if I could get the correct travel/throw on the custom control cables. I finally got the word yesterday that they could do it. The price would be $80 each. That’s almost twice the cost of the Vans custom cables, but I need the smaller diameter cable for the firewall eyeballs that I have, so I placed the order. Spruce called back today and said they quoted me the wrong price. It’s going to be $139 per cable because they’re custom. That’s crazy. I cancelled the order. It’s back to the drawing board. I’m going to use Vans cables. I’ll try contacting the maker of the eyeballs to see if they make one with a larger hole. If not, I’ll have to go with aluminum firewall eyeballs and somehow cover up the mounting holes I already spend hours drilling.
This throttle quadrant has been a huge waste of time and money. I will give credit to the people at Spruce. They charge ridiculous prices for their stuff, but at least their staff is helpful and responsive.
