Not one I bought but there was a chap who lived up the road he had a couple in his back garden but then he moved to Manchester, I think and the cars got sold or moved with him.

hi tim
thanks for the offer but my dad has a brand new rootes kit with the piece in
fingers crossed i should stop breaking soo many cables

stu

pritty sure ive sussed out when i keep snapping cables :D in the parts list it is itm no 7103407 and it is discribed as a 'washer-special for clamping cable' it looks like an electrical treminal so im sure with this missing it deffinatly isnt going to help me not breaking cable's also does any one h...

TBH - and please don't take offence - but if you are/were forever breaking throttle cables then chances are its fitted incorrectly. I've never broken a throttle cable on a solex in my life (except due to wear - and the cable was 20+ years old). Failing that, there must be a burr on either the outer...

well theres not much really going on with my daily at the moment since i posted last it had broken down twice both due tot he throttle cable snapping :x unfortunatly both times when i came to fit a new cable at the side of the road it got stuck in the outer cable so i had the be recoverd back :cry: ...

Good luck i spent 2 days getting the underseal off of my car not my fovourite job but has to be done. I used a angle grinder with a knotted wheel and normal wire wheels as well.

well not briliant if im honest :lol: ive basically done nothing to it for the last week or so due to several reasons such as deciding to go mountain biking in the french alps next spring there for i can justify buying a new bike and all the required safety gear (new dh full face helmet and body armo...
