    I have been using the stock cable off of my I6 for 20 years now and it finnaly broke! Looking at the Lokar cables and was wondering the length. I am assuming the 36" would be long enough then trim to fit, yes? Surprised the 6cylinder cable lasted this long with the V8 conversion...Scott

    Ah heck, just get another I-6 cable and loop it. :) You're not the only one that has done it.

    I6 cable never had to be looped, worked perfect.. I now have the predator mounted sideways and need th cable to make a turn! When i curved it, it snapped.. After 2o years or so, that's ok..Scott

    Got it done. The Lokar 36" was great and the stainless lines look great on the engine. A simple inexpensive fix!($39.99) Scotty
