my KE70 cable is faily long and might work (or be too long).
maybe try that?
I thought about tacking this on to the carby thread further down the page but i didnt want to get too far off topic.
I recently replaced my solex carbs with a brand new set of solex carbs and have found that the stock sprinter throttle cable no longer reaches my linkage. Its only off by about 50mm and I remember someone once saying that there was a throttle cable off another toyota which bolted straight in place of the 86 throttle cable but was longer.
So any suggestions...Im trying to keep it neat otherwise I would have put some ghetto backyard solution together by now

Most Toyota cables I've looked at will fit. Just go for a walk around a wrecker and see what you can find.
Or alternatively, I've heard rumours that a JDM AE86 throttle cable is only $60 genuine from Toyota. Just rumours though.
Hen
I had a feeling it might have been a keto that had the right size throttle cable. 4k due to the carby being on the other side of the motor? I cant remember, its been a while since Ive looked in a ke70 engine bay
Hen, is the jdm cable longer than the adm cable?
yeah the ke induction side is on the other side of the motor so the cable is fair long. i have used this cable with my 4agze tho il get a pic up tonight when i go home to show you how much there is hanging around
Thanks ae70...
EP92 Starlet all the way (what I've got on my AE71).
They are longer by about 70mm at a guess.
heres my jungle:
route the cable under the booster and it won't be such a stand out
Yeah i just did that after the photo, just a guide to see how long the KE70 cable is.
