Where on earth to get carb end throttle cables??!

Hi all!

A few months ago my Uno (check my sig), broke its throttle cable up near the carb end. It is an odd part, a left hand thread "bolt" with the cable being crimped in the end of that then going to the bonded nipple at the other end.

I was unable to get a new aftermarket or genuine part to replace it, so my boss ended up fixing it for me with some motor bike cable and such. It required drilling out at the end, then milling down and then being crimped.

I manged to get another end of trottle cable from a wreckers but it seems to be a scarce part. Do any of you guys know of a supplier of new after market ends?

I just have a feeling it might break again and then I am down to a worn one again.

Cheers!

Mark
