Torture on the brain to think like that….. (P.S. my math might be off, I was just doing it in my head, and my truck gets 25 mpg at best.)
I can’t seem to find a cable that has both of the end types I need or a kit that would work, but I’m still researching. If I don’t come up with anything, I guess I will have a good justification for the expenditure. Another benefit would be versatility for future swap outs of the front fork or engine/tranny. Food for thought.
I’ve been panting the frame now with a rust protective coat, so far the least satisfying part of the project as I HATE painting!
Well, post up the ends and length of cables you need and I'll check my sources and see if they have any. I do know a guy who might be able to custom make some for you. So don't be shy. I also have a Supplier Company that does custom hydraulic hoses for my Company at reasonable prices. There are a lot of us who are pulling for your success and would be happy to help you find the pieces you can't find.
