A cable is not just a cable………..it may look the same but a genuine Thwaites throttle or parking brake is manufactured to a certain standard. Is the inner cable self-lubricating, is the outer cable PV proofed, does the clevis thread match the thread on the cable precisely, is the cable long enough so it can freely move? These are the questions that you have to ask yourself before you buy a cheap after-market cable for your Thwaites dumper from one of the many internet-based sales companies that source their spare parts from China. If it’s cheap it’s cheap for a reason. Don’t compromise, only buy genuine Thwaites throttle and parking brake cables and keep your Thwaites dumper in prime condition.
