[QUOTE="vince998, post: 12180, member: 261"] Valid point from trev, Any flux used has to be removed after soldering (sometimes impossible depending on type of cable used/degree of capillary effect atained) I´ve used Venhill cables on numerous rebuilds. They offer a good range of pre stretched maintenance free (when used with there teflon liners) cables that are not pre greased/oiled!! this is the main problem for the DIY cable maker. All of their cables are delivered flame/plasma cut which allows (with a suitable home made jig) a sort of bird cage to be formed at the end of the cable which is ultimately filled with solder. I´ve found that merely splaying the wires does not always do the job, and still allows the cable to be pulled through the nipple when the solder gets to its "plastic" stage (through heat build up, usually the cause of a pulled of throttle cable nipple after a short stop). Try heating the cable before dipping in the solder pot. If the cable is clean i.e not pre oiled, you don´t usually need a flux. By the way, i have no personal interest in venhill, they just give the a personal service that makes our type of hobby fun. If you experience a problem, just call and they solve it (or help you to solve it) without a quibble. Makes learning fun :) [/QUOTE]
