I need to make up some control cables, brake, clutch etc.
All the suppliers I have found on a Google search seem to be selling metric sized parts. In particular it is the outer dia of the outer cable, and more importantly the ferrule outer diameter that is the problem. For example a number 2 cable outer is sized at 6mm (0.236") the old imperial ones were 0.212". This in itself is not the issue it is the size of the ferrule which for the 6mm OD cable is 7mm (0.275") OD and these are too big to fit into the original handlebar mounts and cable adjusters which are 0.255" ID.
So....is it a case of opening out the fittings to accept the 7mm ferrule or have any of you chaps found a source of the old imperial sized cables and fittings?
Cheers
Alan
