What is another name for this clamp??

[pfrederi 17,741]

Throttle cable clamp used on big block K Singles at the end of the cable.  Kohler # 4875510.  Still available for only $15.83 each...  I figure that they must not be that uncommon and probably available a lot cheaper from McMaster Fastnal etc...IF I knew what another name would be...  Any ideas??

Not the best solution but i use an electric lego clamp

 

[rmaynard 15,519]

It's called an adjustable cable clamp.

[stevasaurus 22,767]

Looks like it would be easy to make on a lathe.  

 

 

I google image...adjustable cable clamp.

Great idea all I have to do is buy a $2,000 metal lathe  (and learn hour to use it)

Over here (UK) it’s called a “ solder less nipple”.

[DennisThornton 4,769]

One of the reasons I try to keep a couple Wheel Horses in the bone yard!  Worth their cost after a few parts.

 

And by golly I learn something everyday.  Got to thinking about it and now I understand why.  Many ends are cast in solder!

Yep  definitely a solderless cable nipple.

Only need a small lathe really, in fact I could make one of these with a drill press.

It's not snowing and it's 3 1/2 months to the show. You have time to go thru the entire MMC Catalog! 

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

I will make one tomorrow, see how long it takes. 

Doesn't need the hexagonal section, just a rim to hold it in the throttle arm.

In the dim and distant past, I’ve made new nipples for throttle/clutch/brake cables on my old motorcycles by trimming a small amount off the outer cable, splaying the end of the inner cable strands outwards, drilling the size of hole needed for the nipple in a piece of hardwood, cutting a slot in the wood up to the hole, then laying the inner cable in the slot with the “splayed” end in the hole. After melting some solder or lead, pouring it into the hole, you then have a new end to your cable. The splayed strands prevent the nipple pulling off the cable.

p.s. Sometimes there’s not enough room in the throttle lever/twist grip to fit a solderless nipple. 

I seem to remember the heavy duty cables had brass nipples with a small countersink where the cable end was splayed into then soldered

I managed a hardware store and had NO idea what you were referring to, saw the picture and Googled.  We called those "Chicago Screws" but they didn't have the nurl.  69 and I think I still learn something here about everyday.  "Sex bolts"!  I'll be darned!

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

"Sex bolt sex bolt, I'm a sex bolt"

 

Lol, I've used em plenty of times and never come across that name.

 

Imagine walking into a hardware store and asking for a box of sex bolts. ... make four candles look tame.
