Dear All
I looking for good quality control cables for my BSA 34-7 1934 . Is some firm who made this cables ? I will be grateful for any help.
Bes regards Artur
Hi Artur, Unfortunately control cables for pre war motorcycles are very rare and although there are companies that will make you cables to your specifications, I have made my own cables for a lot of vintage bikes over many years. There are plenty of companies that will sell you all the parts, inner & outer cables, ferrules and nipples. You will also need some hard (plumbers) solder & flux for attaching the nipples. I melt the solder in a small thick walled tin with a blowlamp, splay & flux the end of the cable (which must be clean & oil free) and dip the cable end & nipple into the molten solder. When set any excess can be filed off. Hope this helps. Alan
Dear Alan
Thank you for your information. I think that your "control cables way" is the best by now. I will try to ask some firm about inner & outer cables based on information from parts catalogue. Thank you for your input for this topic .
Stay safe
Best regards Artur
Venhill (https://www.venhill.co.uk) do a vast selection of of cable parts and nipples. If you can tell them exactly what you want they will make the cables or you can buy the parts and make up your own. Problem might be determining what you need.
Hi Pete
