Wanted: kickdown cable for 2.1TD
I just discovered that the kickdown cable is badly frayed in a couple of places. The obvious one is where it runs around the wheel on top of the injection pump & I had planned to simply splice a new piece of cable in for that. However, I've just discovered another frayed area just inside the cable outer-cover where it attaches to the pump. So I need either a new or good used cable or a replacement inner cable. Anyone got some thing suitable or know how best to repair? Steve

The Lucas Epic does have an elaborate pulley system, too. I'm just worried the cables are different lengths.
