While changing out the boot on the engine end of my 1990 Westy's throttle
cable the cable frayed down to the last metal thread and I removed the solid
metal end and considered it broken. I should probably go ahead and replace the
cable but thought about possibly repairing the cable with a roll pin type
piece  with some liquid weld and crimping. Maybe this is only prolonging another
failure. I should probably be happy that the failure occurred in my driveway
vs.  on the road. Has anyone on the list made a successful repair to the end of
the  cable at the engine and if so what worked? Thanks again to all that sh
are the  wealth of their experience and knowledge with all of our Brethren in
Vanagon.
