RE: SER1 Mixture Control (Choke)

Hello Nick,

i took a look at a spare choke unit I have - the cable is as you describe. 
It has a flattened end which prevents the choke knob from slipping off. It 
should be easy to replace a snapped choke cable without having to replace 
the entire unit. Nice piece of work on Land Rover's part.

By the way Matt, if you want a complete replacement anyway, unit contact me 
off-line.

If the Cable is the same as the earlier one the inner goes into the end of
the metal stem of the choke knob. About 8mm further along there is a cross
drilling which intersects with the hole into which the choke cable is
fitted. The choke cable is simply flattened in that hole (like squashing a
straw between your fingers). This can be done with a hard steel pin from
either side (Masonry nails with tips ground off or similar) in a vice or
with a hammer and a firm surface to support the other end. Alternatively the
hole can be tapped and a little grub screw used.

Nick.
