Just wondering, all you running ITB's what are you using for throttle cables? I'm building an m20 on bike bodies but the slot for the nipple on the spindle is quite small and the original (m40) cable is no good.

you can buy different solderless nipples from bike shops ( motor bike), i got some the other day for a mates lambretta, very usefull as you can shorted them if theres to much slack and you dont have a adjuster. when i first did mine and had to play about with throttle cabels i just put a brass chop block on the end of it., worked fine :D

I'm using a brake cable from a mountain bike for mine, you can pick up the cable and housing for cheap, and cut it to length.
