I ordered some shift&throttle cables from ebay..What I missed was they did not come with either ends....I have been pulling my hair out trying to find ends for the control box side as well as the engine side...I have had no luck, I can't even find the names of the ends anywhere online... Any help that you are able to provide will be great...I thought all cables came with the ends,,,I am lost...please help..

When you say SNAP-IN cables,( see pictures of the cables inclosed) do you mean cables ends are SNAP-IN....Are you also saying the ends are not available.. for the cables shown

These were the cables available for older control boxes and before the ---SNAP IN '---cables and boxes.-----Dealers complained about too much time needed to install them and adjust them.------The snap in place ones were a " no brain needed " improvement.-----And they are available ---" on line " because folks will buy them from dealers unloading old inventory !!!

I just replaced mine with that type, because I still had my old ones. I am no expert, but putting the ends on was not too bad, but adjusting them is somewhat a PITA...Mark
