Title: 3-way throttle cable splitter
Post by: NYSingh on February 16, 2021, 08:38:45 PM
Re-doing my throttle cable using the Venhill custom cable kit (OEM is too long with clubman bars), but having trouble locating a 3-way throttle cable splitter box/junction to work with the 2 carbs + oil pump. Seems my options are:
1) find a 3-way splitter
2) use a 4-way splitter (with only 3 of the splits being utilized)
3) modify the OEM splitter

Option #1 would be the easiest, but I can't seem to find any except for an Amal 244/2080 splitter https://steadfastcycles.com/products/copy-of-junction-box-splitter-triumph-norton-bsa-amal-throttle-cable-union-244-104-1-2 (https://steadfastcycles.com/products/copy-of-junction-box-splitter-triumph-norton-bsa-amal-throttle-cable-union-244-104-1-2) - maybe that will work?

Option #2 is easier to find, but not sure if using just 3 of the slots would cause splitter to pull the cables unevenly.

Option #3 may work but I haven't opened it up yet so can't tell.  Looks like it's held together with some rivets, so would have to grind these off then figure out how to re-attach it after I make the new cables.

Has anyone had to do this before and have some ideas?

Why don't you just shorten the 'throttle' side of the cable assembly and stick with the stock splitter and 'lower' cables?  :twocents:

 :umm:...genius!  I'll try that first and come back with more questions when I screw it up.
