cable

Grey or white? Do you know the length of the encased part and the total length of the cable? I have a number of different ones.

Hi Gordon

Grey if at all possible. I think the total length is around 42" I am not sure about the housing. First thing in the morning I'll measure it.

Look west about 10:00 AM I'll send smoke signals

cable

I've been staring west for 3 days now but having seen any signal. Did you find time to measure the cable?

Measured

It was raining so much I couldn't keep the fire going.

I got it measured this morning, the truth is my son keeps hiding my tape measures. I have several so it really gets to me when I can't find a single one.

the housing is 17 1/2 "
the cable - 52 1/2 "

this is the length without the crimper ends on it.

Didn't mean to make you wait. I appreciate you looking for me a whole lot, Gordon!

Don't apologize, I was just trying to be funny. The one I have is grey and it seems to measure 1/2 inch longer than the one you need. The casing is about 18 inches and it is about 53 inches overall. I would think you could make it work by adjusting the stop and pulley. Let me know if you are interested in it.

sending you an email neighbor

 

[how]

you can adjust the pulley some and

you can adjust the cable holder bracket some,,to make one that doesnt quite fit,,usually work.

Great - glad it worked. I'm waiting for you to come over with a big trailer and buy a truck load of stuff.
