[QUOTE="mwolson, post: 15678433, member: 16006"] I am trying to source new inner IMRC cables, so I have been doing some studying of this. First thing I assume is that the actuator box is exactly the same for the Mark 8 and the Cobra. If that is the case, then the cable length won't matter since it is the length of the inner cable travel that matters. If you can route the cables in a convenient way, the Mark 8 unit should work just fine on a Cobra motor assuming all the clips are compatible. Assuming you do want to shorten the Mark 8 cables, you would have to cut the stop off of the inner cable and remove the plastic clip. It looks like it would be very hard/impossible to remove the plastic clip from the end of the sheath. So you would have to cut out a section of the sheath in the middle and then somehow fabricate and swage a sheath coupler to put the sheath back together again. Then you would shorten the inner cable, replace the plastic clip and swage a stop on the end of the inner cable. Seems like a hard thing to do. FYI, I have two companies working on replacement inner cable solutions for me. I will probably take a few weeks before I see what they can do. I will let you know when I get the results. We haven't talked price yet, but I am suspecting it won't be cheap. I am surprised that no one has any bad IMRC actuators that need repair. I would have expected there are a bunch laying in boxes in garages. [/QUOTE]
