Adv/retard cable end

Does anyone have a photo of what the correct Adv/retard cable end nipple should be? The magneto end, not the lever end. Thanks!

Re: Adv/retard cable end

Yes Sam. It's a flat sided nipple in the shape of the slot that it fits into. Nowadays, modern cables just seem to have a ball shaped nipple fitted. Works just as well though.

Thanks Ron, That's what I suspected, is there a source for these to your knowledge? I don't see them offered in cable end assortments etc..

Re: Adv/retard cable end

I haven't checked Sam, but I suspect that these would have to me made, and since the cable guys can use something else off the shelf that works ok, I doubt they see a need to bother. Someone might have them of course. The ball end nipples are slightly easier to fit as you don't have to line them up like the genuine nipples, which can be a bit fiddly depending how the mag is situated. Ron

Perfect, ball end nipple it is! Thanks Ron.
