Hi guys
Any idea where I can get hold of the copper ferrules to be used on a trike's throttle cable (1.5mm) incl. the auto lube which takes 2 cables?
Hopefully in the Pta/Joburg area
Thanks!
Ant

Re: Looking for copper ferrules
I'm not sure if the ferrules used by electricians will work, if so, try an electrical shop.
There's a German guy in Dykor Road, Silverton. He does all types of cable repairs and rebuilding. Let me know if I should get his details.

Re: Looking for copper ferrules
Hi Anthony,
The ones used for electric fencing do not have the 'half-way' dimples like the electrical ferrels, which typically restrict the cable from going right through, especially when you are doubling the cable, say for a safety cable. They are not copper, but properly crimped they are going nowhere!
Any good hardware store will stock them. I get mine from Builder's Warehouse.
