Morris Minor Owners Club

My cable has just snapped on me on the way home. My local car spares cant get hold off one but they said that the mini one is the same. Is this correct as my moggy is used every day and need one until i get one from offline.

Thanks

A Mini one will likely be too short - but is otherwise identical - so you can try it. Alternative is the inner cable from a bicycle brake cable. Always carry a spare throttle cable !

cheers off to halfords i go

Measure the length of the outer casing

its actually a gear cable from a bike, brake and gear cables have different ends, the brake one has a bigger end and doesnt fit in the pedal

i used a universal brake cable from halfords fitted perfect

As I thought...hope you bought a spare to keep in the glovebox!

I have swapped the carb ends of the choke and accellerator cables over to get me home. DON'T DO THIS AT HOME

Ditto....which is why I always carry a spare cable now.

Hand throttle , awesome

Yes now carry a spare lol

It's even more scary when the throttle return spring snaps - and the engine goes full throttle without any warning.... A spare in the glovebox is handy then......
