In Response To: Rudder Cable clamp *Pic* (Dale Frolander)

: I could swear that I've seen some sort of cable clamp like this, but I don't
: know where. I want to have the rudder cables on my triple go through the
: clamp on one side, through the hole in the foot peg slider, and back
: through the other side of the clamp. I figure with a clamp like this I
: could loosen them to adjust them if one foot peg is farther forward than
: the other. I have the cable swages that I'm supposed to squeeze onto the
: cables, but they aren't adjustable and I won't be able to take them off.

: Has anyone seen something like this, and if so where?

: If I can't find any, I think I might try to make some out of brass.

: Thanks,
: Dale

I've seen them and used them, but it was a long time ago. One place you might try is a Hardware Store that carries cable supplies. I don't think Home Depot or one of the other chain stores would carry them, although they might. You will have find a real Hardware Store that has all the neat little goodies that no one else has any more. Another possibility is a Marine Store that caters to sailboats, particularly sailboat rigging. Hope this helps.
