This Fitting is designed for use on coaxial type control cables. It has a two piece design to allow it to be placed over the cable inserted thru the firewall & tightened down, providing a positive lock. |
Used on the throttle and mixture cables (Van’s). It is slightly too sloppy for the cable and the 1/4” is too small.
Cable Safe II For 3/8 Cable
I think this is just what I need for the application.
Cable Safe II For 1/4 Cable
Easy installation. Clamps my ACS cables well.
High quality aluminum grade & finishing. Do the job perfectly. Easy installation.
Works great to hold ACS Cables without a firewall jam nut. Just make sure your hole is of proper size. If you try and force it, this thing is made of aluminum and will easily strip the threads.
Wont hold 3/8 cable with smooth outer housing.I had to apply small shims to get it to grab.

The Cable Safe II is a 2 piece housing (split) to allow for easier installation is some cases.
The length of the threaded thru-the-firewall pipe-section would be 1.2". This is for both the Cable Safe and Cable Safe II.
The A-800 that we stock have a 1/4" cable housing. So P/N# 05-16252 would work. If your cable does have a 3/16" cable housing then you would need to use 05-16252 along with the adapter which would be 05-16251. This will then work for your 3/16" outer cable housing.
You will need a .561" diameter hole in the firewall.
5/8 inch
These can be mounted either way.
Approx 1".
05-16252 will not accommodate that cable. You would need to use the 3/8 size but it would not grip the cable since that would have around a .375 ID.
