Sourcing cheap control cable
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 4:49 pm
Hi!
I'm working on a custom project, and I need custom length control cables (like handbrake cables) with sheaths. I asked at a marine supplies place, and they can supply a 4m length of 2mm dia stainless steel for $92. I was hoping to find something a lot cheaper than that. Any suggestions on where I should get them from? It doesn't have to be high-precision, low friction, good quality stuff, just backyard mechanic grade.
