You might check with Lincoln Surplus; I guess called Surplus Center now
www.Surpluscenter.com <http://www.surpluscenter.com/> . They generally
have a collection of cables of various sizes and quality. If they have
what you can use you get it at a fraction of normal price.

All,

I am working on connecting up my cabin heater (the non-standard kind)

and I'm going to need a push-pull cable.  The valve has considerably

more resistance than the standard Velocity oil cooler exhaust flap.  For

reliability I want something much sturdier, along the lines of the

aileron cable push pull design.  The solid wire core/lawn mower cable is

not going to work.

I have been searching the net trying to find suppliers.  It looks like

Cablecraft and their associated outlets/builders is the most viable

option.  I will need 5" of travel so the cables in McMaster-Carr won't

do it.  I have been talking with the people at HERS Inc. in Kansas City.

Good folks and it looks like they can make the cable.  On the pricey

side ... About $80 for the cable before putting on the ball joint and

the T-handle.

Just thought I would check to see if anyone had another source that you

thought I should check with first.

Thanks,

Andy
