Ruby Starter Pull Cable - k8207418 - 15-10-2022
I’m looking for a starter pull cable if anyone has one available
Thanks

Bicycle brake cable, perhaps?

It’s the knob assembly at the dash end that’s the problem
I’m sure something will turn up ?

k8207418, What is the problem with your cable pull. When I first acquired my Ruby the knob assembly was tight to pull and had to be pushed back in by hand. On removing from the outer I found a bodged attempt to solder a new cable to the shank of the knob. A bit of work with a file soon removed the access solder and it has worked correctly ever since.

The pull I have is not from an A7
I’m looking for an original design that fits the dash that’s all

Most motor factors will sell you a ready built up cable and outer that you can cut to length. An example: https://www.beal.org.uk/automotive/vehicle-cables-locking-wire/stop-cable.html
You then cut off the plastic handle and glue on a more appropriate starter knob. I've done that a number of times for starter or choke pulls and all work fine.

Hi
Is this what you are looking for? I don’t know if it is Ruby or not but it matches the photos on your other thread.
Note the cable needs replacing.
If you’re interested send me your address via a pm and I’ll post it to you.
In return £10 donation to MacMillan cancer fund please.
Cheers
Howard

the starter pull of a 2 CV is similar and does not need that much modification this (https://www.franzose.de/en/Alle/Alle/Anlasser/ANR14588/) is a link to a supplier in Germany but there should be a Citroen 2CV specialist within the UK as well I'd think . BTW the 'D' stands for "demarreur"... gives a little French touch to your Ruby...
