Where ? Oh where can I buy the cable ends. Autohaus AZ has the cable but they come without ends.

I know, but the picture is not what I need. I need the fork that screws on the cable end and attaches to the pedal. The pic did not look like that. They don't list one for a 78 924

I think the thread on the end of the cable is 6mm, just find one with an opening that will clear the arm and add an appropriate sized pin.

Thank you.... now I'll be able to sleep tonight. I knew there had to be a source out there somewhere.

I have access to a ton of those at work (for a different application) that look identical, with the same locking clips and everything. They have M6 threads, let me know if anyone needs some.

Thanx, I'll need to get the end off over the weekend and can let you know the size I need.

One slight error in drawing.... the threaded hole goes all the way through.

Here are the dimensions of the cable end required. How do I contact you

This looks like the right part and it's $13.00 the downside is the shipping and handling is a whopping $28.00

But if you gotta have it you pay !

The MTC-6L-ss has all the correct dimensions. The pin with clip is SP6ML-ZC

Hope it arrives before the plate expires for the winter.
