Any idea what the thread on the throttle cable adjuster, where it screws into the pedal box on a plus 2? mines sheared off flush and needs drilling/tapping


Thanks

Mark,
I've just had a look and I'm pretty sure it's 1/4" 26tpi BSF. At least the tap ran cleanly down my pedal box and the plastic adjuster sleeve now fits very smoothly.

The threaded sleeve on my cable is plastic, I hadn't noticed before, guess I'd assumed it was probably brass like the lock nut. You may be able to melt/burn the old one out with a bit of heat to save having to drill it?

The throttle cable adjuster at the pedal box for the +2 is definitely 1/4 BSF (26 tpi).
