Speed six throttle cable
Discussion
Simon, did mine last year.
I'd advise double checking with supplier that you obtain correct one for your car. There are 2 lengths (Mk.1 Tuscan) - I believe.
Probably worthwhile taking a photo of routing before stripping old one out.
Remove both halves of airbox...this allows you to see throttle bod "end" exiting bulkhead through the rubber grommet (threaded bar on inner).
Remove 'beauty' panel over pedal box.
Remove 'old' inner and outer cable having first unscrewed clevis yoke and back nut.
On my car, the fixing at the pedal end was distorted/mangled by a previous replacement.....this re-adjustment and removal took the longest time and caused most frustration.
Reassembly is reasonably straightforward given that your working in a tight space with spanner movement restricted by the shaped metal of the pedal box.
Once the (inner) cable is fixed to the pedal mech', it's a case of getting the adjustment of the clevis yoke (engine end) just right so that the throttle bodies are not "pulled" open, but at the same time there isn't any 'lost motion'. I'd recommend using a syncrometer to check/balance throttles on completion.
