I'm looking for some of the older style throttle cable 'outer' sheathing that was fabric covered.
Any ideas anyone?

Try a good "old fashioned" bike shop. They used to make brake cables to pattern.
Do not try one of the new "wharehouse type", as this will result in a "spotty faced youth" looking at you as if you are mad.

you could also try www.viliersparts.co.uk,this guy mainly deals in parts for ancient garden machinery(apparently there are people that collect/restore old mowers etc!! And i thought i was weird!!) anyway he is a very helpfull guy and has supplied me with parts i thought i had no chance of getting,worth a try
