Hi Laurie,
Thats interesting. With the rocket (Dimona) here , I have replaced the throttle cable (Outer and Inner) with an almost identical cable (Morse) which is about 1.0mm larger in diameter and has a correspondingly larger diameter inner, less prone to bending fatigue The clamp (friction ??) which the inner cable attaches ..... , I have turned one up from brass stock to fit, making it a loose fit thru the throttle rod arms. The locking screw that screws into that fitting needs a rounded end to clamp the cable inner against the hole in the fitting. Sounds double Dutch but I looked at that arrangement and figured that there could be a problem there with the inner breaking and wasn't that brought on with the original.

While pointing out the areas to check under the cowl I moved the throttle linkage to feel for integrity and the bloody wire snapped where is goes through the friction fitting. Rob has recommended lubricating this point as if there is any rolling resistance by the fitting it would have to result in stress to the inner wire. After much hunting around I found a supplier of a replacement inner. (Sydney) http://www.conwire.com.au/ Regards Laurie Hoffman SYDNEY MOTOR GLIDER FLIGHT GROUP
