I'm back to a restoration of a 1953 Dunelt that I've been side-tracked off for a few months. Normally, I'm pretty good at taking photo's of anything unusual that I need to strip and clean, but I've thrown away the old gear cable as I knew it was going to be replaced.
One end of the cable fits into the 3 speed trigger, the other end of the cable is bare and slides through the little hole at the end of the knurled adjuster (pic 2). The question is, what usually retains the cable in place? I can't remember what was on the old cable and can only assume that something like a cable end crimp was used? The only issue is I find the aluminium crimps have a habit of pulling off quite easily, so will they be any good under the strain of a gear change.
