Julian Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Is this what you are looking for? outer cable length is 37cm inner cable is 55cm. PM me if it is, it came off a 1979 2.0, and it's in perfect condition. Fiver plus 2 Quid postage. Julian. Edited July 25, 2010 by Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks for that Julian, but the B cable is different to the A. It's about half the length and the fitting for the throttle linkage is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I have a NOS one thats spare. Not in its packet anymore as I was gonna use it, but as I ended up with bike carbs I got a cable kit from merlin motorsport. I'll dig it out at the weekend and see if its any use to you.

OPEL PARTS GREECE Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Available in stock CABLE ASSY ACCELERATOR for 16S 20N/S 19S if it is the same like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks for that Shug, much appreciated. opelpartsgreece, if that one fits a 2.0S then I guess it's the later type with a different fitting to the A. I must try and get a pic up of the sort I need. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Mine looks similar to the one julian posted up, but its a lot longer. end to end is about 140cm. Has the ball socket type end on it. Fits the accelerator pedal on my A perfectly. If you need a nipple end (oo er ) then you could cut off the ball socket bit and add one. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p1061/THROTTLE-CABLE-NIPPLE/product_info.html (they also do a 3m accelerator cable which you can cut to length, but it needs modified slightly to stay on accelerator pedal and won't have the bulk head seal bit.)

1900SR Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 This is what the end I'm looking for looks like. I'm not sure if that part you've linked to Shug would fit. I'd rather get a correct one if possible, but thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta88 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The GTE'S have that fitting on the end, but are a bit longer than the A's but may get you going and be easier to get hold of mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that Mick, but I think the adjuster mech is different on the GT/E, it needs to be the same as the one on the pic Julian's posted. Awkward ain't I? The short one is now on the blue A, and it is running, just ticks over at 1500RPM! Edited August 2, 2010 by 1900SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pma Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi Steve,mate,i'm really struggling on this little 5hite its been driving me mad!I'll be honest Ste,i think from the looks of things that this may have been only available from Opel,can't find any aftermarket supplier that used to list it at all.If anyone can come up with an aftermarket supplier of the little git,please let me know.Cheers for now mate.

1900SR Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks for putting the effort in Paul. I may well end up trying Dr Manta, but I'll need to make sure it's the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thanks for putting the effort in Paul. I may well end up trying Dr Manta, but I'll need to make sure it's the right one. If he isn't listing one? email, he normally has loads of stuff not listed on website (had 2 or 3 parts that way) Try this guy also; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/atzgbr GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Dr Manta lists one, but he's got it down as the same part number for the B as well, and as far as I can see the Bs all had the cup end. I'll probably need to email him a pic of the one I've got along with length to make sure it's right. I'll try that other link you've got Keith, thanks.

I'd rather get a correct one if possible, but thanks for looking. Has anyone else seen that pattern of throttle linkeage on another A , are all the A cars like that, not having seen one I don't know. I have seen that set up on other vehicles though, the Rover P6 for eg. Isn't it possible to fit the linkeage that the cable with the cup end on it will fit,as it seems that it is easier to source that type of cable than it is the one that you are looking for, if you want that type of linkeage I have one here Edited August 9, 2010 by Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
