Pic request: 24v with E30 throttle cable.

[Wishno87]

I have an empty engine bay right now so if I'm going to swap to an e34 cable I would like to do it at this time but i would prefer to keep my e30 cable and modify the bracket that it attaches to on the throttle body. I would like to see what you guys did as far as modifying that bracket. Thanks guys!

I routed my cable between the two posts of the brake master cylinder and through the m50 throttle body bracket. Then just hooked it up to the linkage thwnger with a little plastic apacer. I'd show you a picture but I'm on my phone. Look through my oh hey guys thread.

whats wrong with using the e34 cable? its like $30 bux and 10 mins to install even with the engine in... why rig it?

This was my thought when I did mine.

I just forgot to order the E34 cable, in using the E30 cable I just routed it as it would be normally on the E36 (used the E30 rubber bushing); as it stands the cable will be too long. To solve this I used a short piece of brake tubing (aprox 1" and flared both ends) as a spacer and she works fine...

I used my 318 cable...perfect!

It's not the price thats the problem its that the area where the throttle cable attaches to the firewall is very rusty and I feel like if i try to remove it i will demolish the surrounding mounting provision for it.

well then you have bigger issues.

Used a spacer, looked in photobucket, don't have a clear pic and the car is in NY now :(

E30 cable with a metal roll pin spacer on the end worked fine for mine, again not price it was the urgency of completing my swap for lack of a DD

So how much longer is the stock e30 cable then the stock e36 or e34 throttle cable? I'm working on something and need a longer throttle cable but the stock e36 cable that I'm using is about 2 inches to short. Thanks
