Custom Cables and Ends from scratch or FIX - Throttle Brake Clutch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2023
- Throttle, Brake, clutch and so much more.
Stuff I used in the video:
Inner Cables 1.5mm/1/16" zinc coated steel: amzn.to/3sgFeTS
Instant start torch head: amzn.to/46UAuT5
ACID plumbing flux: amzn.to/46Qu4ED
Solder 40/60 (60% lead) : amzn.to/45QErXt
-Some links are commissioned where I may make $0.02cents. But it's all stuff I bought myself or identical.
FIY ABOUT SOLDER: Use a solder with high lead content. It is better for repairs but also a great electronics solder. If it has rosin core(hard to find without) it doesn't matter, but you will need an Acid Flux(Zinc Chloride) for bonding to steel and oxidized metals. You can later use the solder for electronics only repairs with the built in rosin flux. You can use acid flux on electrical stuff(especially corroded/oxidized) but you have to clean it off after you're done.

This is ingenious. I need to shorten a clutch cable for a custom built quad and this randomly popped into my feed. I swear google/youtube can read our thoughts.
No doubt, I was working on a throttle on my bike last night. I've never watched this man's channel before, I didn't even have TH-cam on last night after I got home from work. Just woke up this morning to watch some TH-cam and the 3rd line down, this video. I thought to myself, "strange this popped up", then I read your comment and well, it must be listening to us... I mean come on what are the chances? It happens all the time! I already threw all my TV's out, looks like the phones and tablets are next. Most think that's just ridiculous, I ask you, when was the last time you had one of your own thoughts? If you still could be honest with yourself the answer SHOULD scare you...
You rite
The last time I had my own thoughts was a few years ago. The doctor gave me some new meds and they all went away.🎉
Me and my brother used to do this in our teens because we never had money for new. We would pick up bikes and push mowers at the dump to fix and re-sell.
We were equally as poor when we were kids. Not having money forces one to come up with ideas that to this day are useful in life.
@@mudgyver5205 your name is very fitting to this conversation lol
The end of the cable that goes into a brake lever for example, it is called a knarp. The sleeve that goes over the sheath is a ferrule. If you are going to use a solid brass or steel knarp, I've found the best way is to silver solder it, the radnor kit that comes with the flexible kind of solder is very good for doing this kind of work.
"The sleeve that goes over the sheath is a ferrule"... 100% correct. It's amazing how many folks don't know the correct term for it although it should be noted that a ferrule can take different forms other than a round, thin walled and narrow sleeve shaped object. "Ferrule" was never well defined IMHO and became somewhat of a loose descriptor for all sorts of objects that were generally used simply to hold a part or parts together. I was originally introduced to a ferrule as a youth when I used one to join a threadless tube to a base via a compression fitting but I eventually came to understand that a ferrule can be all sorts of bits used in a variety of ways. Generally, I think of the term as a slang term and have for quite some time. I bring this up because it's important to ensure you know what you're getting if you go to buy replacements... it's important to visually confirm what you're getting is a match for what you want. This is especially true if you don't like making multiple trips to a supplier or having to return items that were shipped to you but turn out to be unusable. Just as it's wise to take any part you wish to replace to an auto parts store so you can match up the old & new parts, compare your ferrules and measure one out with precision measuring tools if necessary. While it may not make any real difference, sometimes it does - such as when you make or repair pressure connections for pneumatic lines, hydraulic lines, fuel delivery lines, etc. Best wishes!

@@MaxGiganteum exactly, i learned about ferrules from working on mopeds and also ferrules for electrical work:)
Gee gad Brain, how do fit a shark in a swimsuit NARF
Man... I'm such a softee for dogs. I love seeing people being nice to their dogs.
Never tired of watching you doing tricks. :)
Hey thanks
Oh man this is a classic style sixty five ford video! No-nonsense straight up common sense. I don't know what the modern world would do without you... Good stuff, love it!
Hey thanks.
Nice. Fixing something that would otherwise end up in the landfill. For me and others, fixing something is so satisfying. Especially in a world where everything is mostly disposable. Fixing stuff is the "Green"-est thing you can do for the planet, but that's never talked about. Thanks for making this video, I learned something new today.
Dude, I gotta say the most impressive part was the jerking and weight you put on cable with the vise. I wouldn’t have thought it would hold that well. Great job and thanks for sharing.
regardless of how much I think I know, its just about a guarantee I'll learn something new watching a sixyfiveford video
Hey thanks
That the truth.
You're a man after my own heart, your work never fails to enlighten people 👍. Ginger is a sweetheart, we need more Ginger. 🥰
From approximately 5:45 to 11:00... the method you're using is called "potting" a cable. I'm specifically referring to using a mould filled with a molten metal to form the grip at the end of the cable. The key to strength is the frayed ends of the cable strands being surrounded randomly by the poured metal so that no slippage can occur. As for the metal, some solders are usable as is lead, copper, bronze, brass, aluminum, etc though I'd stay away from aluminum as it seems to have durability issues - a lack of ductility. Obviously, solder is easy to melt as is lead but if you have access to an oxy acetylene torch, you've got a lot of options for metals to use if you're in a pinch. An old school penny works quite well for example... pennies minted from 1944-81 are about 95% copper making them viable for the process. Of course you can strip some copper wire, use empty brass shell casings, snag a bullet or some wheel balancing or fishing weights for their lead or scrounge up whatever you can find if you're in a tight spot. If push came to shove, you could use gold or silver too with a torch. Anyway, for those that can do it, I recommend machining up a permanent mould out of steel. While wood works, you typically kill it removing your newly minted cable. Manufacture a steel mould with a push rod in it to eject a fresh pour then you'll have one for life. Best wishes! 👍🏻 🛻 👨🏻🔧

This was one of the best videos that I’ve watched on TH-cam. Partly because I really wanted to know how to do this for years now!! Thanks so much for making it!
I had a notion but never thought about solder. I was thinking along the lines of just melting lead. As a kid I’d make a mold in the ground melt lead to make things but your cable end hack makes it a new ball game. Thanks as always for sharing. 🙂👍
Very useful info! Thank you my friend!
Thanks man
Instant thumbs up for that cool dog!
Yes I think most people forget to clean the cable.
As always great video 👍
Sweet tip! Love these types of tricks.
New subscriber, I've watched a number of your videos and realized that your content is aligned with my interests. Great video thumbs up
Ok so towards the end I was like “wtf are you doing” but once I saw that you made a mold from the wood my jaw dropped at how genius this is. Bravo 👏
Great idea on making the mold, Now. I've made a ball end, but if a next time is needed, now I know how to make a cylinder. Thanks!
Last week I had two Husqvarna lawn mowers of the self-propelled just break at the same time pretty much. 1 yd apart. And I happen to stumble across this in my ventures at night trying to find a quick solution and this worked like a charm thank you so much I'll never buy another lawn mower cable from a lawn mower shop again
I'm pretty sure ginger likes to go for a ride. Good video and idea.
Awesome trick! There have been a few times I could have used this, and saved waiting for days/ weeks to get whatever random project going again :) In fact, I got the incorrect kill cable for one of my mowers, now I can redo it and not have to order another/ waste the wrong one!
It's a handy little trick.
@@sixtyfiveford and now I'm thinking of a way to make a mold that is reusable.. maybe a piece of aluminum , cut in half, then drilled.. clamp onto cable, pour full and remove.. like a bullet mold for reloading.. only for cable ends :)
Done this more than i like to say especially since we now have no real motorbike/ATV shops in town, we have a honda/stihl shop and even tho there aftermarket parts supplier has all the parts available its like the most impossible thing in the world when you ask exactly what you want.
Great video and i am sure heaps of people have used this method (as i never thought about wood, always had mini molds or done it the hard way haha)
So helpful thanks man from a boater with a throttle cable problem from South Carolina
The outcome is much better than i thought it would be, thank you
If you take your time and even file the ends, you can make it look like factory.
Thank you very much, i've used other methods before, but it was always hit or miss. This looks really good. As a rider of 80's bikes this is the sort of stuff you need to know to keep them running on a budget. Cheers
this is the most useful shpw i have ever seen about ctrl cable. it's such a hassle to spec and order cable. thanx
Of course you post this now. I was installing a new throttle cable on my kids go kart direct from Trinidad and the barrel broke off the end of the cable, already ordered a bolt on version will try this one day
That's bloody brilliant!!!
Excellent!
Hey thanks
This was something I never new how many times as a younger man I could have used this thank u I will never forget this no more wating on orderd cables from the Honda shops or Amazon now days use to be Honda!! To be Exact, was a 1985 200x 3 wheeler clutch cable I broke first gear out because I broke the clutch cable and would rev and stomp in first gear to get moving good times great Oldies
Awesome thanks for making this video it worked pretty well. I was making a custom cable and needed to change one of the ends of a throttle cable to work with a clutch lever. Worked great!
I’m going to have to try this! I’ve been using an electrical wire in place of my weed trimmer’s throttle cable, for long enough!
Absolutely brilliant. Love it bud great work 👍
Nicely done, great approach, thanks for sharing it with us.
This is the content i am here for :D
Did take me 5 times...6 was a charm...you are owesom ,thank you
A truly life saving video!!
Excellent, I've needed this trick for years. Now I can do it - Thank You
Thanks for this, Im working on an old 80s Isuzu Truck and I need to make a brand new one of these.
This will do me good for working on mowers. Thank you Sir!
As usual, you have the absolute best techniques to fix things. I'd love to see a collaboration with The Project Farm.
That would be cool!
Sweet! Thanks for sharing the technique.
Pretty neat little fix. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this video. If only I had known this trick 60 years ago.
excellent video, will defo be using this to make cables in the future!
Awesome video. Thank you.
You can also use used mig welding liners for the cables. I’ve used them on push mowers for throttle control. I also made a steel mold similar to making sinkers and melted lead.
Thanks for the tutorial! I definitely could have used this a few times over the years
Wow. That’s awesome, that is very useful!
Thanks for the video.
your videos are the best
I won't forget this video!
Nice job! Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank-you especially for the testing procedure
Excellent lesson
Excellent, and strong too.
this is brilliant. nicely done
Very cool and simple technique. This would work great for bicycle brake cables with weird double ends.
Absolutely
This is gonna come in handy! Thanks!
So creative!
Excellent learning something today 👍🏻
Quality job bud 🇬🇧👍🏻
This Guy is the best!!! thanks
Great video, thank you !
I went to a swap meet on Saturday. They had a raffle to win a 1965 Mustang. I chuckled because I wondered what you would think of it. I am highly suspicious of all modern "restorations" because I have seen some very bad ones with a nice paint job. Nice video. Good Luck, Rick
Oh I am so going to try this before I spend $50 bucks for a new cable. Thank you.
This guy is a Dawm genius
Thank you
Nice job!
Very helpful tutorial Moe. I'm sure I'll be doing this in the near future. It might even get put to use on the Goofy Cart!
Puppy wants to go for a ride to cool bro. Thank you for the information.✍🏻👍🏻
Great video thanks man
Great video
Another awesome video. Your channel is great.
Thank you very much!
Very interesting I would have not even thought about that. Good to think out of the box 📦 😅😅
Good Job!
Genius! Thanks!
Honestly one of the best channels on youtube
I'm glad you like the videos!
Great tip.
Wicked method love it.
إنها طريقة رائعة جداً . أنت الأفضل
I have made these out of brass, but the solder method removes a single step. Enjoy your tips always, thanks for the video, cheers!
Nice work
Wow. Wow. Good to know thank you.
Ginger is a true petrol head
So true
Cool way to form the knob thingy, wood burnt a little but it still formed the way you wanted it
Very good how to. As always thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the infor, much appreciated.
O lord lol I had a ragged out Suzuki quad runners same engine ..20 years ago ..yours is alot better shape than what I had
That was stronger than I would have thought. Could definitely come in handy. I would have tried finding a piece of brass or steel of the right shape and then drilling it, and then silver soldering. Your way is simpler.
i watched a bunch of your vids .you are a genius . i have 3 blue heelers they are a handful. lolo
3 of these wild beasts... Love it. Thanks!
Pretty cool.
DIYed it yet once again. Nyce
I never seen this one being made at home but it is not a bad idea to do that instead of trying to find a cable for the compression release on a 4 wheeler
NICE WORK !!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Thanks
@11:06 I became an instant subscriber for life.
Great DIY. Cables cost a small fortune these days.
Impressive!
