Accelerator Cable Metal Sleeve / Tube moving

Hi

I noticed when the accelerator pedal is pressed it pulls the metal sleeve tube thing out of the tin wear.

I cant remember seeing any seals when refitting it is there anything I can do to stop it slipping now the engine is back in?

Thanks

 

there should be a small round seal on the alternator/dynamo side....and I think some half round ones on the rear of the engine side

....you could stop it moving by using some tie wraps/cable ties

 

Mine is held in place with a cable tie, a previous owner did it but it works well for me.

 

mines in there with cable ties too...

 

I have the 2 grommets, and a cable tie which works

 

a small jubilee clip might be better, but would be hard to put in with the engine in place

 

Hard in situ I know, but all the engines I sort out I cut a 1cm length of rubber tubing, slip it over the tube behind the tinware and secure with a jubilee or fuel line clip.

As a stop gap you could find a grommet of a suitable size and use that at the front.

 

That's what I use when I find that problem

 

I tried tonight and failed i cant reach the back of the pipe let alone clamp anything on to it

 

Previous owner made and fitted to the fan shroud adjacent to the metal tube a latch , like a piece of thin metal ,40mm long by 15mm wide it has a slot cut in it and it screws to the shroud and fits over the lip of the tube ,the aforementioned slot allows the cable to pass thru , whilst holding the tube in place, works a treat.

 

There was an aftermarket clip clip advertised around last year but I think they needed to sell a large number in order to bring the price down to a realistic level. That one screwed to the fan housing too.

 

No you won't be able to without at least drawing the engine an inch or 2 off the gearbox - the end will be inside the gearbox hanger. I can do mine as no hanger - Early wins again.

 

I am a jubilee clip convert as well

 

Lesson learnt ,will it cause any issues or wear on the cable if its moving about?
