Choke Cable

[Origin7]

The choke cable on my Super Sprint was cut when my car was at the shop. With cold weather approaching, I am trying to get this sorted. It's turning out to be more difficult than I expected to find a replacement. All I really need is the new "inner" which is a solid wire (not a braided cable)

 

1. Is there a procedure to remove the wire from the knob assembly, then insert and crimp a new one? Figured I'd ask before I get forceful and destroy it. If this works, any idea where I can get a new inner wire?

2. I like the OEM look of the knob and would like to keep everything matching...I have the same heater knob. Does anyone know where I can source a whole new assembly? 

 

Thanks!

Mike

The cable is swaged into the end piece. I suppose you could cut the end off and try to squash the end over a new piece; alternatively you could try to fix just the knob onto a similar style of cable. Either way there is no loss for trying since what you have is no longer functional as-is.

 

I've never seen a choke cable knob like that so I wouldn't know offhand where to search for a full replacement. English Ford maybe.

Got the cable out, but damaged the stem. Just ordered a replacement from this company. Looks like decent quality, and the knobs are interchangeable.

I am glad ChatGPT recommended them.  I think they could be a good resource. I'll provide an update when I get the cable assembly.
