Clutch cable lock?

[homejones]

Hey guys, anyone have a clutch cable lock they can sell me? Online vendors charge a lot for shipping, so hoping to get some help from within the community. Let me know, thanks!

Are you talking about a locking clutch lever?

Sorry, talking about the little brass cable choke that hooks up near the clutch bar. See pic below...

I am sure I have a few laying around on my workbench at home. I will look tonight and let you know.

If you have a Volkswagen dealer close buy, they might have them in stock. They were used on the air box/heater of rear engine beatles.

Any hobby shop that sells model airplane parts can provide you with them. They're called wheel collars. You'll want one with a 1/16" I.D.

Your local hardware store or auto parts store should have plenty to choose from in stock for very little to nothing.

Tom is right, you want a 1/16'' ID collar

Oh, I didn't even know if they had these at hardware stores. It'll probably be easier to goto a Home Depot today after work. Anyone know what I need to ask for at a hardware store?

This is awesome - thanks for the tip. If Home Depot doesn't work out, I have a hobby store somewhere relatively close by that I can swing by. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'll check out a local hardware store tonight and let you know if I can't find it.

Late reply....

I bought the cable locks from the hobby store. It was $1.99 and came with a few in the packet. Even came with a tiny allen wrench to tighten the set screw. Note, these are significantly smaller than the cable locks that come in the chinese kits, but work nonetheless.
