    Default Where to get a throttle cable made?

    Since I'm having trouble finding a JZA80 GTE throttle cable, I'm going to get one made up. Anyone got any advice on where is best to get this done? (preferably Brisbane area).

    You will usually need to supply them with the base of the cable for the cabin-side and the securing part that screws into the throttle bracket on the plenum.

    By the base of the cable you mean where it connects to the throttle linkage? Lucky I still have my N/A one. Any idea on rough costs?

    Plus 1 for them, we use them for work to get all sorts of cables made. Throttle cables, handbrake cables, speedo cables. There prices aren't the cheapest but good quality work and good turn around times, I guess you get what you pay for.

    I used Marine Control Systems in Labrador to shorten a cable when I went from dash-mounted to floor-mounted handbrake in my Hilux.
