BSeery Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I am doing a lot of "major" work on my C3 lately. All the vacuum lines have been replaced, all the electrical in the engine compartment is being re-done, new belts, new brakes -- lots of work.There is one part I can't get to, and I need someone's help. I am replacing the throttle cable. Mine was split and frayed and coming apart. My hand, arm, whole body, is too big to get up under the dash to disconnect the old cable and connect the new one. If someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I will be out of town all week for work, so next week either after Hooters or on Sunday would be best. I need to get this done, but I can't do it. I also can't move the car to take it somewhere to get done as most of the cable is already gone.Let me know if you can help.Thanks !! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeery Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Dan, I don't know if you would be able to get up there any further than I can.My main problem is not only am I too big, but I am claustrophobic about being up in that confined area.I think we need someone the size of Tim or Mark -- you know -- small airline mechanics that fit inside parts like that.

Eddie44 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm guessing I'm out too then? Maybe one of these guys could stop by. : : http://www.jockeysroom.com/itmidx1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they say that without bomb loaders the Air Force would just be another airline. I'll give it a shot. How long should it take? Are you gonna be at hOOters on Saturday? If so I can show a little early and give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sidewinder Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 So I take it going to hooters a little early and doing it there is out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sidewinder Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 What time do you want to do the cable swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeery Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I have no idea what your schedule is. We are not going to Hooters this weekend, we are going to the Split Window Diner in Fountain Hills instead (see the post in the Events section).So, with that having changed, I don't know. I will be going up there for lunch, and then the rest of my Saturday and Sunday is wide open.Call me at 480-220-2484 so we can figure this out.Thanks !!

BSeery Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 This is all taken care of.Phil came over and risked life and limb to help me get the old cable out and put the new one in.He did such a good job, I went ahead and broke the first replacement throttle cable so we could do it all over AGAIN.After a trip to Checker for ANOTHER new cable, Phil got that one in place and all is good now.Thanks Phil !! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
