Remember its the inner cable "mushroom" and solder that hold the inner in the nipple, not just the solder. |
I used Laco flux and cut the inner on a bench grinder (tie it with thin copper wire before cutting), and a gas flame, carefully, for heat since it's only a throttle cable. I didn't have the correct nipples at the weekend, so made one from a scrap of brass (1mm drill forthe cable, 4mm for the burred end). I like Laco flux, it's pH neutral and washes off easily.
