I need a very long throttle control cable for my M108/M211 hybrid crane truck. Where is aq good place to start looking for this. I assume that I should be able to just order one of these by specifying length, right?
Thanks for any tips on this,
Bruce

Thanks, Hopefully I'll be able to measure the length tomorrow. The old rusted out one
was pretty basic, but it would be nice to have one that was incased. It goes all the way from the engine compartment, then under the truck to the Hydraulic valve assembly that allows the crane to rotate, then up through the center of that to the operators control station where there is just a simple detented type lever control.
Your help is much appreciated. Just posted some pics in the thread on rare beasts.

You talking more than 25'? Can get that at local truck parts store. Long throttle cables are used on pre 1993 fire trucks but 25' typically is all that is required and longest I've purchased.

These are bowden style with a locking rotary throttle knob.
