Andy,
I use cable and housing frequently with the puppets and
animatronics. I have some top quality stainless cable and some
bicycle housing that I can send out to you. The only hitches are,
I'm not sure on length for 2000 cable and I only have housing in neon
green and pink. I can send you some if you'd like, you'd get it by
thursday if I sent it today. Give me a holler, I'm outside San
Antonio @(830) 324-6578
The housing on the 1600 throttle cable looks a tad stouter
than bike housing, more like motorcycle housing maybe?
