kws Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 They are definitely not cheap, but their work is second to none, imo. If you want it done once, and done right, you'll pay the premium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the ends were 'standard' off the shelf items it would be much cheaper. They have a bit of a catalogue of ends on their site. Ill let you know tho.

In my case, comparing cables from two reputable manufacturers, the premium would only get me a metric thread hence asking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I love that the cable Barry is keeping you updated with what going on. Makes you feel like they care about your cable and that it’s fit for purpose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a push pull too, I have a cheap boat option with unf threads but would be nice to have metric to avoid adapters Just had the call from Dave to say it was all done, as well as a wombling conversation about what he did, and why, etc and oh, btw, its on the courier and where should he send the invoice? Total invoice incl Courier and GST is a shade under $450, which isn't too bad for a highly specialized, hand made, one off piece to match a worn out greasy sample, imo. I think he spent about 2 days on it on and off and he mentioned the invoice was probably about $50 light. Im not expecting any dramas with getting to it fit or whatever but was to to ring asap if there were any issues and they would try to sort it out. A+ would trade with Melbar again for all my custom cable requirements. I doubt that's competitive with an off the shelf/generic item, but for custom, you gots to pay the costo to be the capo 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 No guarantee that an off the shelf product would work even if you could find one. At least with Cable Barry you know that if anything needs a tweak he will be only to happy to sort it out. Might chat to them about my clutch cable. I’ll say the Fiat Pest sent me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
