Speedometer cable throttle cable

Unread post by frank-id » Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:28 pm

After searching for a replacement cable, gonna fabricate a shop built arrangement. The Travco and many other Dodge based RVs use a cruise control to be the connection between the transmission and the dash speedo head. The cruise control will not be used. I shall cut the 2 cables at a center place, make a machined sleeve to join outer housings, and make new inner cable. The outer cables seem to be different\noutside diameters. The inner cable is 1/8 inch standard.\nThe throttle cable may still be available from local parts store. The shift cable maybe converted to the style used for PTO applications. Some fitting , cutting and machineing will be required. Frank...............Idaho

Frank, can you post pics of the cruise control head ? I have cruise in mine but mine had magnets on the drive shaft which are gone. I might want to buy that head off you if I can retro fit it.
