87-89FC Throttle Cable

[Gary Miller]

Rick,

Have you tried Holland Motor Homes, in Holland. The previous parts
manager had made up several of the cables you seek when Wanderlodge
stopped refreshing it's supply of them several years ago. Not sure
who the current parts manager is, but perhaps he'll know where to
find any leftovers in their supply.
