This is timely! My inspection of the throttle box discovered one of the cabl
e connections was very frayed right at the TH03 throttle cable eye, hanging b
y threads!
So I am looking at my options to stay with a similar install or going to sol
id wire. I imagine to stay =9Cstock=9DI will need to order a new
 cable with the TH03 cable eye connected assuming they are available?
Other wise going Erich=99s route, which allows me to order via aircraf
t spruce.
For those of you who haven=99t inspected this for a while, might be wo
rth a look.
Thanks for any further thoughts.

ushing forming a closed question mark (?) and secure it with Redux or JB Wel
d.  Attach the cable to the throttle lever as per the Europa instructions.  1
7+ years of trouble free operation.  Works a treat.
