Throttle Cable - off what?

[jimed]

I seem to think that several people were after a new throttle cable some time ago but couldn't find any. I've been to Tatton Show today and got the obligatory free bag with whatever stuff in it, one of which was a catalogue from Burton (www.burtonpower.com) for Ford bits and pieces - mostly tuning and similar bits but they do a range of throttle cables for Escorts and Sierras,etc. and the prices seem not bad so if it is off one of those maybe they are available from them - so what is the cable off does anyone know?

twice now i've just gone to the local motorbike shop and bought a cable of the right length. normally you need to cut off one of the soldered ends and replace it with one of those cable ends with the screw lock thingies-don't know what they're called. it also means that it is easy to adjust if you need to.

Thanks Roy - I had the p/n but not what it is off (and strangely google only replies with the various S parts sites so that was no help). Sadly the Burton book doesn't list the Sierra/Granada that you quote (it does list the Granada Mk2 2.8 and also the Sierra 2.8/XR4i/XR4x4)so a no go from that but it does list a Universal Throttle cable (3M total length to cut down) at £4 and also a "throttle cable clip" (fits cables with ball socket ends) at 75p so info may be of some use to someone.
