RE: SER1 Mixture Control (Choke)

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.

Hi all

I had to use the mixture control (choke cable for the first time on my 
recently acquired 1956 86" SI, and have found that it is broken!

I have take the unit apart and cannot see how the cable is attached to 
the pull-knob?
