I've read on here that braided accelerator cables are best for split buses, perhaps I'm wrong. But I cannot locate a braided cable, most are twisted.
Any ideas or input would be helpful.

How about the best cable for emergency brake & Clutch cable? Thoughts?

Thanks

The Split Bus is a '66 Deluxe Transporter.

Thanks again

Single stand as factory is best. Braided cables tend to cut other metal parts via sawing action.

And, they're not actually braided, they're simply twisted, like basic wire rope.

Thank you for the info. I'm thinking someone possibly misspoke when they called the cable braided instead of twisted, and braided just stuck in my mind.
Funny, because no a days most thoughts don't stick around in my brain like they used to.

Thanks again
Jeff
