I had purchased this product years ago, (1998 or so), while at Oshkosh to connect the throttle in my sons Porsche 914. I had with many other parts I had acquired for the father son project. Fast forward to 2025 after purchasing back from him in 2018 and having installed the previous part for the intended purpose, which worked perfectly, I was needing another two to splice two cables together for the headlights. ( Had removed the the retract motors for a GT cable system.) With the addition of a simple 10/32 threaded coupling, again it worked perfectly. Makes for a very nice finished installation and another person claimed they had tested them up to 100 lbs pull. Neither of mine require that at all. This is the only place I was able to locate this and the collet makes it work great.

Wire Grip Shaft + Cap .040 To .050 Od

PN 05-16000: Control end works great. Grips cable wire firmly. Has not slipped under constant use. Makes small incremental adjustments a breeze.

I never saw one of these until I was replacing my throttle cable. At first, I was skeptical to the holding strength... they are precision made, the bowden cable fits snug before tightening.. grips hard.....make sure all parts are clean before assembling..

Im loving this product so far. My only concern is longevity and dependability. If I designed this I would have added a lock-nut behind the wire-catch.

Clever solution for connecting Bowden cable to threaded terminal. Well made. I pull tested after assembling wire grip to cable and it withstood a 100 pound pull with no sign of slippage.

Bag was labelled with PN ordered, but item was a size smaller. Does not fit .078 wire.

Yes, this really is an amazing piece of hardware! I have searched a year for this part. The 10-32 threads DO thread into Ball joint assy perfectly (aircraftspruce # 05-07500). These two parts seem to be made for each other. This is the highest quality solution to connect to the fuel injection contol levers, to control both throttle and mixture. Lycoming 200 hp, home built aircraft. Anything else will be second best.

The wire grip is as advertised. Basically a tiny mandrel with compression about the installed wire. I have not performed a tension test to failure, but the device appears to bind the cable quite tightly. Sufficient for most applications involve control cabling. It is noted that the wire grip is for solid wire only. Supposedly does not work well with multi-stranded cable wire. I beg to differ. Having installed on 7x19 twisted cable, it binds quite nicely, and has equal tension with the solid-core wire. Its also possible to solder tin the twisted cable ends, to basically achieve a solid wire (on the ends), If so desired, creating a multi-strand cable with solid wire ends.

Works great

These cable clamps are just the ticket. Ive seen so many planes with people trusting their lives to throttle/ mixture cables with a jam nut when they could have used these clamps.

Beautifully designed and executed. Small in diam, lightweight. The best on the market. Polished stainless. Flawless.

I installed a new fuel servo and the mixture cable end needed an alteration connecting to the servo. I tried a couple of different ways, but this wire grip fitted right over the cable end and made a very strong bond. Two things Aircraft Spruce should advertise with this item, however: - You need a perfect (99% straight cable end, otherwise it will not tighten over the cable strong enough) - You cant find a 10/32 female connection to this part at Aircraft Spruce so I needed to buy from McMaster Carr a ball joint end https://www.mcmaster.com/#60645k31/=1e6jgrz (Hint, Hint...) Otherwise it works like a charm.

Amazing piece...... make the job easy and looks good.... throttle cable in a tight place....tnx...jw

I measured the wire diameter as .063 and therefore ordered the largest size, as the middle size capability ended at .062. However, the largest size could not grip the cable at all, the threaded cone ran to the end of the thread. So I incurred another shipping and handling fee and another week of aircraft downtime, plus returning the wrong-size part

Not what I needed, difficult description on line

Mandrel failed. Cable released. Would not recommend.
