Throtle cable alteration

Does anyone know to a tool or company that can alter the lenght of a throttle cable for me?
Is it possible to cut off the nipple and re-fit it?

Is there a tool out there just for this kind of job?

I'm looking to shorten the cable or increase the lenght of the sheathing

I believe it is possible, but can be hard to remake motorbike cable's - I bought a heavy duty cutter for pedal bike cables but its a lighter grade.

These guys must surely be able to help and can make cables to your spec:

Good luck - Frank

Definitely give Venhil a ring. I just had one made to my specs for all of 15 quid.

You send them yours and specify what alteration you want and they send you a new one and your original one back. Takes about 3-4 days.

I would just like to give credit where credits due. I posted off a cable with instrutions on monday. Tues got a call to ask a few queies regarding the new cable. Thursday I received another call to say it was complete and readuy to be dispatched. friday 10.30am new cable arrived. Friday 7.30pm cable fitted and works a treat. So if you ever need a cable making up to your own spec give Venhill Engineering a call.


Thx again Frank, Felix.

I am glad you had good service from Venhill, Jon. They've always been very good for me. Their brake hose system is good too.
