Just thought I'd share this with anyone needing to replace the throttle cable on an MEP-002A or MEP-003A.

Maybe we could add this to the wiki?

Thanks for the tip. Got one on order.

Any ideas about the end part pieces? Mine are all missing. GMG sell a kit, but almost 60 bucks seem a bit pricey for for these pieces. They sell the exact same throttle cable as the above Amazon link, but at quite a premium.

I used one of these on an mep that I sold, I was not a fan of it but it works.

**** Jim. If you had posted just 30 minutes earlier I could have saved some money. I had just placed an order with GMG for their kit literally minutes before I checked the forum again and saw your link. I had located the individual components in the GMG kit, but once you added shipping (GMG has free shipping) it was pretty much a wash. I really like your solution better I think!

Haha sorry. When i was doing the rebuild i did see the gmg kit and it was ok but i do likem this solution better. Its all aircraft grade stuff as well. Its been awhile since i did the rebuild threads but i have one for the 003 and one for the 002. Pretty much anything you need or need to know is posted in those two threads. They really should have been made stickys so they dont get lost.
