With the change of name, have Tuthill/Cablecraft changed any of their contact details? Kind regards, Paul

For those who bought the Tuthill/Cablecraft cables how have they been?  Smiles all around?

The latest model is very good.I would still suggest the cable protectors from thermal velocity to be on the safe side after I royally burnt through mine in a stage 2 sec on track

Very happy with mine, just don't fit them yourself. I gave myself concussion in the process!

Well hopefully the fitment issues have been ironed out because I will be fitting myself. Clam is already off so at least access to the gearbox end should be good.

So long as you have the right cables, there are no fitting issues per say, its just a twat of a job.

I agree just finished, on the how to do it post I noticed you said don't bother with the rubbers, do you still go with that?

I would NEVER refit the boots... waste of time and add damping to the shift and also trap moisture etc. The tuthills are properly sealed units and have no need for the pikey stuff smiths fitted.

£150 + VAT
