Warm air pull repair (1 Viewer)

I probably should have made a build thread somewhere along the line 10 years ago....
As I've been slowly reassembling, I'm finding all the little things that need repaired. With the heater and blower complete, I found the cables and they were pretty rough.
I searched and found some different approaches to fix the problem but ended up welding it just because that's the process I'm most familiar with. The first few attempts just left me with some big blobs on two different ends of the cable but eventually I got it dialed in. With a small flap disc I was able to sand it down to a reasonable shape. Some bicycle brake housing finished it off - seems to work well.

Awesome job! You should be quite proud. Sometimes it is these types of solutions that provide the most satisfaction.

posted with permission of thread starter , who BTW , totally KICK's azz here , way way awesome !!!! AAAAAAAA++++++++

- so my Fettish with all thinks Toyota control cables started as a teenager , i worked one summer as a apprentice to a master cable rigger on boats ,,,

we did ALL Yamaha stuff typically ,

so that ignited a spark of sorts

@65swb45 , Uncle Mark saw what i was doing and plugged me into this tech thread below , that was a special time i was indeed still exploring and learning as i went

it led to this below , TOKAIRIKA of JAPAN makes me thee knob to a undifined long end of black modern sealed outer jacket and the core cable is nor galvinized

i trim both of them , and coil the end detail all ny hand , i give mine a extra turn to make 3 full coils

toyota only did 2

they failed there and broke my will not ////

see the tech reel top

turn on the speaker ICON and turn it up , this was no easy task and i burned up a good 4 cables getting it right

the best part is they include the little chrome plated brass collar ..............ahhhhhhhhhhhh details that matter and matter do details

this is a work of mechanical ballet and i absolutely love it !

see this link # PLEASE !

Choke cable variations

well, I finished up sorting out all the different PCV hoses and breathers and decided to dive into the next snake pit, the cables. I'm gonna look to @RAGINGMATT for the ultimate breakout list on these, as my last phone call with him made me keenly aware he's got this little niche mastered.
