Use genuine throttle cable, check ebay should get one for around £38, Will have a look mate, seen some at around £80 maybe looking in wrong place, Norbo does a £30 option I was thinking of?

Well I've scoured the bay and it's looking like 80 odd quid for genuine? Reports on the £30 Norbo 1's are good, mines frayed at the throttle tube, think I'll whip it off and see if the top piece can be swapped leaving the bottom 3 genuine?

I've got one of Norbo's throttle cables, been on for a while now, fitted perfectly and haven't had a problem

Well 20 minutes on the old mop and I'm happy with the result, now the task of masking begins, then onto the front.

So the speedo cowel is like many others no doubt, the previous owner had decided to fill the gaps with filler! Got as much as I can out and will bung in oven to see if it's memory shrinks it back before clamping with glue and buying a sticker for it, I know I can buy new but the £50 can go towards the paint job and I'll replace this when she gets the full on resto treatment.

Well it's far from perfect but it's certainly better, thinking some black nail varnish in the gaps then a sticker, unless OEB has a nicer one that deserves the sticker more?

looks nice, if you use a small paint brush and do it by hand someone will have to get up real close to notice it
