Ugh... Throttle cables.

[evil_twin]

I am swapping my engine to an m52 and I am not sure what throttle cable to use?

e34 m50 throttle body is what I used.

[hugh jass]

e36 325 will work

[evil_twin]

Hmmm, I bought the e34 m50 throttle cable and it doesn't look like it will hook up to my throttle body. Also, where in the hell do I find the bracket that holds the throttle cable?

[e30s52]

are you using the m50 obd1 intake manifold?

[evil_twin]

Yes sir I am.

Just wondering, Have you yet mucked thru ALL thge pages of the 24v Swap Sticky Thread? I see you have quite a few "question" threads going on ATM.

[evil_twin]

Yes I have gone through that sticky. But I guess I cannot find what I am searching for.

if you don't have the bracket, that'd be why the cable doesn't fit... Once you have the bracket, you should be able to have the bend that the cable has bending down and under the brake booster and then it'll come back up and fit through the housing.

Okay, now will the bracket from an OBD2 throttle body work?

I have no idea, check part numbers on realoem possibly...
