My buddy gave me a new CNC throttle pedal it already has the stop built into it i love this pedal only problem I'm having is how do you hook your cable up to it i believe it has three small threaded holes on the side of the little plate that keeps your foot from slipping off I know this is a stupid question but I'm just new to all this and want to do it right the frist time thanks! oh yeah I just got the small garage cable so i dont have any hooks on either end

You will need something like this........http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merch ... ange_high=

But it is for the type cable that has threads on the ends of them that I am running and it works great. Here is the cable.......http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merch ... ange_high=

You can get these cables custom lengths, you will see the different ones they have in stock.

Or you can drill out one of the little holes a bit bigger and put an eyehook from the hdwre store thru it and put a nut on the back of it. Then run your cable thru the eyehook, loop it back on itself and use two or three little cable clamps to secure it.

I used a roll door cable and run it thru some 3/8 air line It works real well but I work in a truck shop and had all this just lying around .I had to drill the hole in the pedal out to 1/4"Image/img]Image

I love the pedal and that is a bushing that is made in the cable. I think a home garage door has the same basic cable and if so you can get them at lowes or any hard ware store .
I mark the length I need at the carb linkage and cut it into with a welder turned up hot and it welds all the little braids together and it wont unravel over time

looks like you used the aluminum clamp those has the two holes in it and you have to use a special pair or plairs to crimp them on there i was thinking of doing that i use them on my homemade treestand and was guessing if it was strong enough to hold my fat butt on a tree it should work fine for a throttle cable thanks for all the replies
