Hi all, I'm going to use a 28mm dellorto and 90 degree cable elbow with a Lambretta choke lever mounted in just about the standard Vespa choke lever location. The trouble is the cable outer is spot on for length but the cable inner is too short. Does anyone know where I could get hold of a longer cable ready made up?

Thanks

Have you got the right cable to go with the elbow ?

No just the standard cable with small barrel at one end and a nipple at the carb choke end.

I make custom choke cables for Lambrettas. If you let me know how long the outer should be, I'll make you a cable.

You can have the outer in red, black, grey or silver braid.

Thanks knowledge but I'm sorted now. I'll bear you in mind though, I'm bound to snap it.
No problem with photos, I'll post some when I get it fitted.

Regards~

Hi Knowledge, as predicted in a recent post I've wrecked my choke cable trying to adapt it for a 28mm dellorto with a 90 degree elbow and a Lambretta choke lever I'm fitting it to a Vespa frame.
Would it be possible to make me 2 with the outers being 300mm long and black?
