Evening , I'm on the hunt for parts for getting around a problem . I'm after the ferrule sections off of 4 sleeves . The metal part that plugs into the small tubes coming out of the engine forks . As shown below .
My only other option is to either get some made or buy and extra 2 sets to just cannibalise for the ferrules .
I am in south Somerset but happy to pay postage .

Thanks in advance , Sam
Car Builder solutions sell various cable ends, might be worth a search

Hi Dave , I've had a good look through the catalogue and found the section but is now a bit limited and more focused on choke cables .
They are for where my tunnel is cut off at the rear torsion beam , and I need to join into the cut of tubes and get closer to the handbrake , whilst protecting the cable . In short I need to make up two sleeves about 18" long with ferrules on each end to match the original tubes in the tunnel .
Sadly I threw my old ones from donor beetle away long before I got this far .
Try a google search... Brake cable ferrules were commonly available in many sizes from bicycle 5mm up-over. Both metal and plastic. They may still be.... :) :)
Might also be worth a call then to some of the companies that make bespoke cables - such as "Speedy Cables" and see if they will supply parts :-\
Cheers for that Dave , I'll give them a call , I was struggling to find a company that might supply parts only or made to order , just set pre made kits .
Paul , I'll take a look and see if bike components might fit , it's just getting the stepped ferrule to work with the pipe size , as effectively I need to plug into one end of the existing solid tube and not loose the sleeve inside it .
Yes I am with you... All ferules I have come across in the past are stepped giving two diameters.
Is there nobody on here who has a lathe that could help Sam out ?
