Villiers Throttle Cable Ends

[Gannet]

I am trying to make up a couple of throttle cables to go from a Villiers Lever to a Villiers carb.
I am missing the end pieces, especially the small stop/spacer piece at the lever end. Also the stop/adjusters at the carb end needs replacing.
Has anybody got some end pieces - perhaps on an old scrap cable or two?
Thanks,
Jeremy
ps The Villiers lever appears to be an odd design in not having a reduced diameter 'stop' where the cable enters, as per the Amal lever. Or perhaps the original cables all had a larger diameter stepped piece as part of the cable end? I haven't seen anything like that. All I have seen is the extra stop/spacer piece.

Jeremy, the top carburettor adjuster I think is part of the cable, I don't know about the other parts, a pictures or two may help.

I got some of these recently

The stop/spacer at the lever (left hand) end of the cable are the parts I am after. Also the adjuster on the carb (right hand end).

Thanks Rene,

That will fix the carb end. i will enquire from Villiers Parts whether they have the stop/spacer at the other end.

I made up a few a while back - but have never seen an extra cap on the left end ( as in your pic )
I just pushed the cable cap end into recessed hole in the lever.

Also - I seem to remember some levers having a small pip ( similar to the carb end ) ?

Geoff,
Yes, the later Villiers throttle lever do not need that cable stop. The earlier long lever Villiers throttle do require a stop.

There must be dozens of old -wont be ever used- cables lying around with that stop. Anybody like to pass them on so that the bits can be used?

hi jeremy
classic seagulls sell them, they are listed as "old villiers throttle cable nipple"
they have a slot in them to make fitting easier so are not exactly original
£4.95 hope this helps.

Dave,
Thanks for the info.
I am really after the original - ie non- slotted version.

Surely there must be old, frayed (and useless except for the piece parts) Villiers throttle cables cluttering up sheds/workshops/garages up and down the land?
