I talked with rodney today.Nobody ever sent him cables or measurements.So i'll do both he said he would need to make 250 cables.So there needs to be motivation on his end of this.
Others would need to step up if this is going to happen.

HA!

Theres no way we can do that. I would be suprised if we could sell 30 sets, maybe 60 if we get cavi guys involved. It sucks, because to make things happen we need volume, and the community is just too small

I understand how small the group is barry.
But i can't deal with this plastic crap anymore.
I plan on keeping my car for a long time.
I don't take no for an anwser.
We need a guy like rodney who knows there crap.

More than likely Rodney designs a cable, then sends it out to someone to produce it. He needs 250 for it to be worth his time and/or production minimum.

I would cut out the middle man if I were you and have someone make a cable for you, or like I did a while ago, make your own.

I welded steel balljoints where the crap plastic ends used to go. It worked awesome for a while, but then the actual housing broke in half.

Just use small heim joints and use a tap and die to thread them on a stock cable seems like it should work with some loctite to, 250 Will not happen even with us cavi guy grandam guys and everyother person that can use these cables

Im just trying to get good replacements or figure out a way for this not to happen again.I don't want to use plastic again.And if i can't find good stock replacements i need another option.I don't have a welder nor can i weld.So i need to rely on others.

I tried to eliminate the middle man... I talked to a place and passed the ball to those who wanted them... no one went any further with it.

I've looked and found almost ever posting about this.
Then talked with rodney today.Yeah he wanted to know how many beretta guys are out there.And front wheel drive guys thats his business to make parts that make money.
Just like when milzy made me custom headers.
Im hoping to find a set of good stock replacements and send him the old ones off my car.

This.

Look on mcmaster for ends that will work for you. I would push for cables, but luckily mine has been holding on. And I also have the resources to make a sweet indestructible one so its not too bug of a deal

After working 12 to 14 hours a day.The last thing i want is to work on a car.But i changed all the brakes on my wifes car this weekend.
If i could find someone to help me and make them.
That would be awesome.If you wanted to make them i'll take a set.

Contact one of the companies in my thread... I had already asked them but no one followed through since I couldn't start any order since I didn't need a set.

Eliminate Rodney... He is only trying to make some money on the deal since HE will not be building these as noted... He needs to meet a minimum for a company to produce them, so maybe if you talk to someone DIRECT they can set up some small batch for you, much less than required to sell to a vendor, or make it worth the vendor looking into it.

If that doesn't work, Barry, how much would you charge for a set?
