Engine Stop cable brackets and clips

[cygnusv]

Trying to find clips and brackets etc for diesel engine stop cable. The cable has a solid core and I'd like to find some fixing brackets. Had a look on Google and ASAP but not found enough suitable. Ideas?

Try eBay. Bought one myself a few years back, can't remember the supplier but there is plenty of choice. Just search for stop cable.

I've got plastic household cable clips around mind, the single plastic strap, wrap around, single scew type

Thanks for these. Dropbox and Norris marine are especially useful. When I was searching I found plenty of stop cables but very little in the way of secure fasteners. I wanted to avoid bodging so thanks for these 2 recommendation. Stu

Have you looked at Aquafax?

What sort of clips and brackets are you looking for ? These parts are often specific to there application. It is possible to make your own, if you know what you are doing.

I found the 'U' clamp dimpled cable locking bracket locally, which was a relief. Now I need a bracket that will screw onto the pump end of the (solid core) stop cable.This bracket needs a 90 degree 1/4 pin to go through the lever on the pump. It needs to be pretty robust as the lever it attaches to basically has 3 positions - Cold start position, running and stop. The movement of the cable and action on the lever needs to be positive between both directions to achieve the 2 extreme positions. Only other thing is that as this is an old boat - 1951 vintage - the threads are unlikely to be metric.

Is there a thread on the end of the cable ? Either 3/16"unf or 1/4"unf . If so these are standard 33c and 43c cables and lots of ends are available.

Really handy to know that the threads used on the modern cables are UNF. I expected them all to be metric. Knowing that does make it easier to identify a usable terminal connection. Thanks!
