Brian, if you are unsuccessful in locating the correct cable type, revert to
the approved
Standard-Triumph service tool. Instead of a croc clip, use a wooden clothes peg
(clothes pin) with a
short piece of string looped through the central spring to hang from the choke
knob. No
self-respecting Triumph repairman was ever without this essential piece of kit
in their toolbox.
AFAIK, Darrell Floyd has yet to include this important 'original' feature in
the VTR Judging
criteria for Concours cars - which is a great shame.
I have one in my car - premanently! The cold start cable is perfectly
satisfactory and works well,
but the interior as a whole looked a little incomplete without this essential
feature.
