Custom Made Control Cables

• Throttle

• Anti Roll Bar

•  Clutch

•  Gearshift

• Tray Supports

As strange as it may seem, there are still race cars being sold with control cables, only suited for gear changing on a bicycle, not providing precise movements of a component. They bind, become unraveled in a short period of time, and have been known to break at the most inopportune time. The crime is, custom made, performance quality control cables, are easy to order and readily available to solve these problems.

• Tension Cable  Many throttle and clutch cables fall under this category. For pulling operation only, available with two types on outer housing ends, the most popular being the bulkhead style (threaded)
• Compression Cable (push-pull) This type of cable is associated with anti-roll bar controls, as it can be pushed as well as pulled for adjustments. If your racing association requires the ability to return the throttle with your foot, this is the type cable you need. The quick release type of outer housing end, is the most common. 

    The following dimensions are needed to order either type of cable, along with notation of whether you need a quick release or bulkhead (threaded) style outer housing end. Contact us with your dimensions for a quote.
