Hi Ken,

Could it be an accelerator lever for use during deep water driving?

Thanks Noam, spot on.

Now, do I bung it on ebay as a rare D-Day Jeep invasion spare, or just use it on a pre-war bike for added rivet-acountability?

Use it on a bike, Ken. 99% of surviving Jeeps are Hotchkiss bitsas anyway !

Cloth covered Bowden cables make all the difference to the period appearance of an old bike, in my opinion.

I've got the complete supplementary kit still in its sealed box if anyone needs one!

I was a tad tongue in cheek there, as I have rolls of the old bowden stuff from way back.
even got it as HT lead

Any for sale, Ken ?

i could part with a foot or two of the HT cable if you want.
email me for a chat, have a stiff whisky, a nurse and a chair handy for the price..................[not really]

I hang onto the control cable stuff, although I have found a couple of what looks like pre war BSA cables, I'll dig them out and post some pics
