I had one that didn't go through the stub-axle. Right pain that were and no one on here believed me. I was ahead of my time.

Re: ID my binnacle please?
Cheers guys, the stub end of mine is just too wide to go into the holder. Time to return it, after 6 months!

What do you mean by too big? Pic please?
Re: ID my binnacle please?
I'm going to wear my psychic cap and guess an answer for the original poster. Now then, now then, how's about this then? I can see that the plastic part of the cable is too thick to push through the hole in the stub axle. I had that problem and tried filing away at the placky then decided to trim it back to the metal inner tube and just push it through the stub able, hold it in place with a cable tie and grease it copiously and keep regreasing it every few months.... and it stayed like that for 120 k miles... Before going to CBA...

Re: ID my binnacle please?
Ta for the pics, clearer now what the issue appears to be - they made a shite job of squaring the end of the cable?
If everything else matches up, I'd have a go at reforming it rather than all the aggro of An Post, etc.

Sorry, I was completely barking up the wrong tree... But I seem to remember something about a difference between the early and late bobbins or am I barking mad again??

That's at t'other end of the cable.bogbasic wrote:But I seem to remember something about a difference between the early and late bobbins or am I barking mad again??
Re: ID my binnacle please?
I'm loath to go trying to square it in the vice. If I get it wrong it is not cheap to replace. I'd rather send it back and get one that will work. Have considered it but it was nearly €60 for the cable with delivery!

I would send it back as it is miles off.

Re: ID my binnacle please?
Man, that is the bobbin that goes in the grease cap isn't it?? The square bit that it held in the cap by a clip is cunningly hidden in those photos, I think. Anyhow, I can see what you mean that the cable hasn't been squared-off correctly now that my mincers can get a decent eye-full of it all - its been completely Pete Tonged.
