Hello dear boatsmen
I just bought a Teleflex cable for a very modest price - but it is about a
meter (3') too long.
Has any of you DIY types tried shortening the coil or rod end of a Teleflex
cable?
And how did it turn out?
Dos and don'ts very much appreciated.

Frankly I can't see how you can shorted a Morse type teleflex cable
successfully as the solid rod ends moving in the solid tubes at the
end are what allows the cable to both push and pull.
However, I have seen cables effectively shortened by installing them
with an "S" bend or loop which, if the bends aren't too sharp seemed
to work - sort of - o.k.
Cheers,
Bruce
