Mates restoring an sx150 fitted with an imola. The brake cable doesn't seem to want to go the normal route. Do you route it over the carb reed valve?

Correct goes over the top, however due to this it comes up slightly short, i just used one of the extended top hat cable ferrule at the brake end, sorted, about £5 of flee bayLivi- Graeme wrote:Mates restoring an sx150 fitted with an imola.

Thought so just looks so wrong. Cable is long enough to fit into both ferrules. Thanks for the reply. Graeme

I also have an Avanti head on my TS1 and this thread had me wondering, just checked and I routed mine under the carb. If I had gone over it would have got in the way of the plug capDigDug wrote:+1 - A right pain to get it sorted.sydduckett wrote:I have a Ron moss oversized head plus reed block, talk about go round the houses....

RB Avanti head TMX 35 on an LTH manifold. I have to route mine around the carb. Extra top hat at both ends of cable. Looks shite and feels wrong but works. Can't see it with the panels on.
