How to make or repair a clutch cable nipple.
This works also for throttle and choke cables.
It will work for a brake cable, but best advice is to fit a new cable.

It involves making a mould in wood - about 20 minutes including finding the wood.
I used a olive wood.

You will need:

Solder - I used 97% Tin 3% copper

Plumbers acid paste - tin paste without lead (containing zinc chloride)

Blow torch

Solvent - I used petrol and acetone to finish

A fine wire brush to clean the bowden cable

7.5mm drill bit (measure the original nipple)

A thick hacksaw blade

Casting the nipple only takes a few minutes.
