Made a throttle cable

The dorman part I found on here got me a cable with a very different end connector. I dont know if they sent the wrong part but I couldnt use it so I decided to make a new one. I had a throttle cable from my motorcycle laying around and it became the donor.

The casing on mine was rotten.

I cut the connectors what was left of the old cable, then drilled them back out to 1/4" to fit the new cable.

Next I cut the cable to length. I didnt know the exact length since the old casing was rotten, but got it close and just adjusted the cable length.

I cut the cable to length and silver soldered the end to keep it from fraying.

I epoxied the case into the fittings to secure them. Then put some heat shrink over it just for good measure.

I then soldered some small nuts in place as the cable stays. (I messed up here as you can see, the plastic fitting is on backwards, its flipped now)

It all works great now, no more sticky throttle and 0-100% tps is perfect now.
