Homemade throttle cable
I made a throttle cable. I used a derailleur cable. I marked it for length, and cut the cable to size. Then I took a wiring ferrule that is about the same size as the barrel on a brake cable, and drilled a small hole in it. I poked the cable through the hole and frizzed up the end of the cable. Then I heated it up and filled it with solder. First time I tried lead, but it didn't fill and adhere well. The flux core solder seems to have filled and stuck.
