Default lokar cable install question
Those of you that have installed a lokar throttle cable, what did you do at the firewall as far as fastening the cable in the stock hole?

I used 1" washers with small diameter holes on both sides of the firewall to accommodate the size of the Lokar threaded bushing.

Fender washer as they are called. Use dremel tool to cut outer shield of cable and cable itself. These things are great!!!!!!!!
