Review on Enhance Your Throttle Control with Mr. Gasket 5657 Steel Braided Throttle Cable Kit by Michael Miner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A piece of junk. Best in Accelerator Cables

Requires the bracket that comes with the Specter for about the same price. Will not work with standard mounts as they are thick enough that you will need their custom mount. I'm a mechanic by trade and an engineering student, I've built many hot rods over the years and managed to break this thing two different ways by installing it. It s cheap. This could potentially work well depending on your application (if you bought a separate bracket, drilled a 3/8 hole in the firewall and didn't try to use the existing hole, and routed the cable in a perfectly straight path from the firewall to the carbohydrates). Be careful when tightening aluminum. I broke the main part of the cable in half with a 3/8 ratchet while keeping one hand behind my back under the dash holding it to the head. This came after the black plastic head broke off at the other end when trying to fit it to the truck's stock mount, which is identical to the branded mount that forces you to buy separately, only slightly thicker. Buy Locar, it's rubbish.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
