What Part Is This??

[dalej]

Like Jim, I would just repair it. I would use a gas welder and braze the end that is bad and grind down to square it back up.

Just mail it up here! I'll fix it and mail it back to you.

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Dale, you must be right, I was just going to suggest the same method of repair.

Mel, I think you can braze with a butane torch if you don't have a gas welding outfit.

Also a place to look in your rural area is at a tractor dealer. See what they have for tach. cables. They sell the inside drive cable around here, so I'm sure they have it by you as well.

You may also see those cable(s) on rack and pinion driven motorized folding couches. Our Millennium's couch works that way and if they get too far out of alignment from one another- one side further than the other- the torque stops the motor.

Thanks for the repair suggestions. The problem is the shaft won't come out of the housing and the housing is going to melt as soon as any heat is applied. But, since FlexSteel is closed until Jan. 5th, I will FexEx the cable to you, Dale and see if you can work some magic. I went ahead and reinstalled the seat this afternoon. The first time was a pain, but I've got it down to about ten minuets now.
The thing that bothers me is that I have replaced cables similar to this one for years and never noticed a shaft made like this one. What the heck would be wrong with a solid shaft instead of one that will unwind with just a little abuse?
Dale if you will send me your address (don't see it on the members map) I'll sent the cable Monday, and thanks.

Ted, grab the bad end with visegrips and try your best to pull it out.

You have nothing to loose by ruining it more.

Well I beg to differ, if he is sending it to me to fix. I don't want it to be stretched out.

Dale , tried to add my address to your map but could not find where to click to do it. DUH !!!

Lew,

Members have been just emailing their info to me since I have the user name and password for updating.

It has to be flexible Ted, solid will snap.
