Magneto advance cable mystery (to me)

Forums

Why are all the 39 inch part number A2/256 replacement mag advance cables have a barrel end but I seem to have the odd disk end that fits into a square cutout on the advance plate?

Plus....does anyone want the Dell Reeves 'Running Wild' USA record with the P-11 cover? Free...just postage costs from USA. I'll trade you for the mag cable I need!

I think you'll find that the bit with the "disc end" is actually a separate plunger and the cable barrel nipple fits into a cutout in it. You need to disconnect the cable from the handlebar lever and pull it as far down as it will go to get at the nipple.

Thanks Ian, I replaced it last night. The cable had a square portion just above and part of the barrel end. Covered in grease it looked like a part of the advance plunger itself. Must have been a real old style cable.
