How to make your own cheap throttle cable

Hi guys, Need to make my own throttle cable the other day since no one here sells them. I bought bicycle break line and tubing for $5. It had one end completed and the other with nothing on it. I ground a little bit off the first end to fit my mukuni. So i though i share with you what i did to custom make the other end.

Step 1 What you need. Note use lead solder, 50/50 worked nice!

Step 2 Make a ball of play-doh press in the old end that you need to recreate. Now you will have your mold.

Step 3 Flux, dip your wire into it. **NOTE YOU HAVE TO DO THIS CREATES A BETTER BOND WITH THE MATERIAL. SOLDER WILL NOT STICK AS WELL WITHOUT IT**

Step 4 Put wire into mold. I would push a little into the other side of the mold and grind excess off after it complete.

Step 5 Solder, Once you drop your glob of solder, keep it hot and make sure it goes below the wire so it is on both sides. *note. Play-doh is fresh no need to wait for it to go rock hard or freeze it.

Step 6 Grind it a little bit till it fits.



It is a very strong connection. I griped it with pliers and pulled like hell and it will not budge.

Enjoy and hope you liked it
