Hi All, Hoping I can get a throttle cable for my 1989 Volvo 240, I’ve already tried fitting one but it was slightly shorter than mine so it didn’t work. Tot...

I 've been trying to avoid them unless really necessary. Always like reaching out here to to try share money with people that might hold stock/spares rather than going to dealer/garage straight away.

Unfortunately, no longer available.

Darn, I've sourced one 2nd hand from the I Roll Volvo Page.

The one I sourced from Michael Furner was too short. Now I have a few cables sitting on the bench and none of them work :-/ Darn it!

Incorrect cable.

ramrod really why's that? I got the P/N from @jamesinc comment above with same dimensions as mine?
Or what is the part number i need?
Just measured mine again and it's got an 'B' measurement of 1350mm

I'll check if I have one tomorrow, I know I have a throttle cable but not sure what it's from.

Did you have any luck with this?

Sly240wagon I have one

Amazing, I'll take it 🙂 Where are you based? I'm in Mornington, VIC

I'm going to remove my original one again this evening and measure it properly just to confirm we're right with dimensions before committing :-)

morch_66479 I have one 🙂

@morch_66479 I found the one I had spare but unfortunately it is not usable, the sleeve has broken pretty badly 😢

morch_66479

jamesinc thanks for checking, appreciate it 🙂

So this is the original cable I'll be replacing. I also need a Phillips head screw as I dropped mine (pretty fussy and would like to replace it with original)

Got one from @Sly240wagon and it was the correct length, what a journey but thanks for all your help 🙂

Only thing i noted was the correct cable had a yellow and red bands as per photo. Not sure whether this marking signifies the longer version?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get cables made for our RHD cars. Need samples, and also collective wisdom on which to get made up.

Are there any cables that you think would be needed? Those we are thinking of are:

1228954 1975-1979 fuel injection
1272898 1980-1992 fuel injection K-Jet
1389096 1985-1993 fuel injection

Cheers,

Ashley

K-jet goes up to 1985 in our country
