  View original topic: Barndoor Accelerator Cable - can I use a later one? same end
Poze123 Sat Jan 16, 2010 3:31 pm

Hello
Ive just sold my barndoor and performing the engine swap.
I fitted my bus with a cable suitable for my Subaru engine, i binned the original cable.

I know barndoors are 3514mm long, and hard to get hold of.
Will a 55-65 one work, has it got the same end on the pedal? i know its 5cm longer, but this will be ok and probably beneficial as im fitting a later T1 engine.

Just need to know if it will fit the pedal end? then i will order one tomo.

Many thanks, poze

just uploaded the 1st youtube vid , took this morning before i ripped the engine out this afternoon,

Paul, i think you will just have to make the hook part 'thinner' to go through the slot in the BD pedal....make sense?

Hello, is the end a round end like 55> ?
If not sure, i'll take the panel of this week after work and have a look.

Just want to make sure a 55-61 odd will work.

Cheers
Paul
