Man, time really flies! I asked a question about throttle linkage back in May and I'm finally at the point of needing to source the throttle cable. My desire is to use the cable to "Push" to open throttle, and then, if the springs fail or the cable sticks I intend to use the loop on my pedal to positively "Pull" the throttle closed. Here's a link to what I'm considering, and yes, I do realize it's listed as a shifter cable, but it has the rigidity on the ends to work as a true "Push-Pull" cable. I like this particular one because it has "bulkhead", threaded ends to tune the adjustment of the cable, plus one threaded end to use a rod end and provide adjustment too.

Chute cables with and without the handle are ,in my opinion, way out of line on price. I have a cable housing that has an I.D. that could serve as a "Pull" cable to pull a .070" "wire" out of the chute loop to deploy it. I will need to source the wire and was wanting to use stainless steel for the obvious reason to resist corrosion. The housing will have some bends in it to get from point A to point B, and I wonder if I need to be concerned about what alloy the stainless steel solid wire is so that it wouldn't work harden. The one source of wire I'm considering says they make springs and sell a 302 alloy stainless wire, so I would think it would work out OK. I think the tightest bend would still be at least 6" radius.
FWIW....The track I plan to run has a 3000' shut down area for a 1/8 Mi. track and I really doubt the chute would ever get used except just to test that it actually works, so maybe questioning work hardening is not an issue at all. Then again, maybe my thinkin' is stinkin'.
As always....thanks for input.
