Push a length of single-strand copper or steel through in the other
direction, solder and pull?

There is a nut on the back of the dash.  Shouldn't be too difficult on the
tin dash, but I can imagine the Abingdon pillow being a different kettle of
fish.

>My conversion back to SU carbs required me to use a longer choke cable.  A
Previous Owner had cut both it and the throttle cable for the conversion to
a Weber (which is now in a box on my garage floor)  The car started right up
after the rebuild and install.  Now for the tuning.....

>Anybody have a good trick for getting the choke cable back through the
"shielding"?  I can't get the longer one (from the parts car) back through
the metal shielding any longer than about 18 inches (that was accomplished
using the 1/4" at a time with a pair of pliers method)  The cable isn't
frayed, it just gets hung up midway through.

if I could do that I'd be able to straighten the thing out and get the upper
hand.
