Try West Marine(http://www.westmarine.com), Model 432247 (Perko #1226DP CHR). Five bucks for two, but they're chrome plated zinc - at least there are two, so when one gets corroded, you can replace it.

I know I've seen these in bronze, but it was a long time ago.

: I could swear that I've seen some sort of cable clamp like this, but I don't
: know where. I want to have the rudder cables on my triple go through the
: clamp on one side, through the hole in the foot peg slider, and back
: through the other side of the clamp. I figure with a clamp like this I
: could loosen them to adjust them if one foot peg is farther forward than
: the other. I have the cable swages that I'm supposed to squeeze onto the
: cables, but they aren't adjustable and I won't be able to take them off.

: Has anyone seen something like this, and if so where?

: If I can't find any, I think I might try to make some out of brass.

: Thanks,
