Built out the second Venhill throttle cable. Pretty much the same drill as last time except I used a leftover length of outer shroud that was already sitting there. It was 63cm (the first one was 70cm) but I knew that I should have made the first one shorter anyway.
Used the trick of putting a little piece of solder into the birds nest and then melting it in place. Worked fine and a lot cleaner than the soldering pot.
Went to install it into the throttle only to discover that the opening for the ferrule was just way too small. Either that or I needed to be using a different sized ferrule than last time. But given I had so many of this size, figured I'd just open up the hole.
Used the Dremel to slowly work the hole open but must have taken an hour to just work it big enough to comfortably fit the ferrule.
