General Throttle Cable required!

[jetweed]

Motor-mech, my engine & gearbox rebuilder is suggesting I get a new throttle cable as mine is frayed.

I have ordered one from my local Fiat dealership but they aren't hopeful of getting one any time soon.

Other than second hand off Barchetta parts, where could I get a brand new throttle cable?

I've been told on ePer the part number is : 47300129 AC35 - FLEXIBLE STARTER/ACCELERATION CONTROL TRANSMISSION


Any ideas if this is correct?


Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, James

ePER lists two numbers:

47300129 Modification Code C3145
46535362 Modification Code D3145

Basic 3145 code indicates they are the same. Breakdown on C or D not available.

A chassis number may eliminate one of the cables. You can use the ePER on this site and enter your chassis number yourself.

If you're not concerned with originality, you might consider having one made, or adapted from a similar cable or buy a throttle cable kit. Try googling throttle cable kit. A friend has a Honda off road buggy and waited months for the correct part before buying a kit and making his own. Let us know how you get on.

My local Fiat dealership confirms part number 47300129 is now no longer available.

Henk on Barchetta parts sells one but obviously its second hand which I dont really want in a fully re-built engine.

Motor-mech are going to continue their search for an official one, otherwise I guess like bumble says may have to convert a universal one.

How can Fiat stop making such a crucial part?!

Have you tried the likes of DTR? They may have a parts department with some Barchetta bits.

WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AXEL AUGUSTIN FOR BARCHETTA PARTS :

ORDERED ANOTHER THROTTLE CABLE FROM THEM TOO!

seekpart24 took my money then emailed saying no stock and refunded money..
surely it would have been easier to say on the website - no stock?!

I have now ordered a used one from Henk @ Barchetta Parts and also I'm taking my old one to be re-built by "J J Cables Ltd" who professionally re-build cables..
