On my clutch cable the nice RAC man made me up a cable with what looks like a banjo fitting with 2 grub scews to hold the cable and let it rotate.

What are these called and where can i get some more?

pictures maybe?

I know the bit you mean but no idea what they are called. Mine came from Mac#1 as part of their throttle cable kit.

Take it off and call out the RAC again

I want a bigger one than mr RAC had so i can use a slightly thicker cable and get a tighter fit to the bolt as the current one flaps about a bit. Ill get a photo, but it looks a little like this...


What is this?

The cable goes in and a grub screw holds it in 2 directions.

MK sell them.. When I chatted to them they reckoned you had to by a couple of hundred at a time no idea where from, spent a lot of time looking!

Sounds like the kind of thing you might find in a chandlers or a balustrade supplier.

For example http://www.steelwirerope.com/diyselffit.html has something close that uses a rather nicer fixing method than grub screws. Probably need to find a shop installer and supply a liquid lunch or beg a manufacturer for samples to get them in small lots though.
