Right after having the car on the rollers for a long time I have killed my gear cables :-( So my next question what and where to get some uprated ones cheers for any help .

[Kieran McC]

Lotus genuine ones seem ok , Try Elieseshop.com, I believe cablecraft make them, there was sizing issue with them as well 

[fezzasus]

Only two options; cable craft/tuthill from Elise shop or OEM. The former are much better quality providing they send you the correct length.

Just wondering: which RR were you on when your gear cables melted?

[NickB787]

I have my old cables here Lee they are fine, I just replaced them with cable craft ones as I had brought them, good price or work in hand ;-)

[haggi961]

I could do with a set so if there's a better deal for a couple of them then I could be interested.

[slindborg]

There is a company in Bedford who make shifter cables, you could get them to make some custom ones up akin to when I got tuthill to make the first set for me

Sounds interesting. Which company is this? I am after cables so if it helps anyone bothered to start a GB..... I would be in.

I'll look in race car engineer tomorrow for the advert. Frankly the tuthill cables I had were fantastic, so the current ones from Elise parts should be more than fine too.....

[fezzasus]

Agreed. Really no point reinventing something when the tut hill/cable craft cables are out there already.

just let me know who they are I have a set of cables here I can give the to use as templates and see how much they would be. however my replacement ones are very good quality also, think they were Tuthill ones. and if your interested in these Lee Posted 03 July 2013 - 04:08 PM Well a good day today, I got the gear change cables changed, they went on ok, only problem is the old ones are in really good condition, nice and smooth operation still, so I have a spare set should i need them.

No harm in finding out I guess.... I'd just get the tuthill/cablecraft ones if I were to have my time again.

Anyway,  (as I am a child, so often pointed out by boring folks here) hilariously the Bedford company is Ringspann

[Mike (Cliffie)]

The Tuthill ones are now sorted, correct lengths supplied and they are a lovely bit of kit.

[siztenboots]

Eliseshop ones fit my turbo gearbox spot on

They would do, tuthill sorted the design properly after someone else on the forum (not Me) refined my efforts

They'll have had a bloody good view of the encampment whilst it was there.

The cablecraft ones from Elise-SHOP are £180 delivered and look OK. I have the pleasure of fitting a set to my car in the next couple of days
