Brian, thank you. What is the stuff called?
I will have to check the diameter of the cable in your link. I want to repair my Bosch sander and it uses the same sort of stuff

How about speedo flexible drive cable!
In the kit Brian suggested (for motorcycle speedos) one end has to be a swaged square section that fits into an adaptor (either at the speedo head or the offtake drive end (often a right angle drive gearbox somewhere on the drivetrain). The other end is cut to desired overall length and then customise with the screw-on adaptor kit (that is often also a solid square drive with a threaded stub end that 'screws' (LH thread?) into the inner core of the drive cable.
The Bosch part is very very short and looks like it originally wasn't man enough for the job as they beefed it up a bit but that inevitably stiffens the cable so you need to compare whatever replacement you eventually decide to use.
It's a long shot but why not try sourcing the actual spare part from Bosch Switzerland, I've done it with jig saw parts that otherwise were said to be NLA |
