How did everyone do their accelerator cables? Or what did you use. The stuff I have supplied just doesn't work out. Pj, supplied what he thought was a baleno accelerator but it just fit. Any ideas on what I can use to make this all work.

I tried changing the bracket round to make it work however it was then too long for the the adjustment nuts.
And the supplied cable

Ok back to this.
Can someone measure their Efi vit cable from ball bearing thingy to ball bearing thingy.
The standard cable I have will not fit at all. Even Joel's brand new cable I borrowed from him for a g13ba will not fit.

I don't have the stock baleno cable. Just the one supplied by pj.zook and one I pinched from Joel. Both identical. I'm not running a body life which probably answers why over all it too short. But it still itsnt long enough from the bracket to the throttle body
Have you got a picture with what you mean tanshi?

Problem fixed. Probably not 'legal' in a sense but alot better IMO then dodging it with cable ties and what not.
Used go kart cable joiner crimp joiner ma-bobby thingys. Got a pack of 5 for $6 or something. Cut the cables to length with slack spare on each side. Installed it then tightened it proper job when it was how I wanted it. Works a dream.
Tidied it up after so no loose ends.
Doesn't snag on anything and sits in the baleno stock accelerator holder bracket thing.

That will probably work fine. There is not much tension on throttle cables.

I used the standard Baleno cable. Just had to mod the pedal end slightly to fit.

I didn't have the stock cable handy. Just had a g13ba one and a corolla 4k one. Made it flash as for $6. New baleno cable was gonna set me back $30 or something.
