What size throttle cable do I need?

Hey guys I bought the cheap braided stainless spectre throttle cable and when I inspected it I wasn't happy. The stainless braided cable seem to be frayed.

So I decided to get me a Lokar braided throttle cable instead. Since I'm spending the extra cash can someone tell me for sure what size throttle cable I need?

I never followed through witht he installing the spectre so I wasn't sure if it was the correct size either.

Thanks!

Found this one. It is 24 inches. Will it work or do I need the 36"

Thanks!

The TC-1000HT will work fine. You will end up shortening it some. You should also look into an SRK-4000 spring return kit.

I bought the Spectre also and broke the firewall bolt tightening it up. I shortened the cable to about 12". So I am looking at the same Lokar Cable
