Default 1932 Model B starter switch cable.

I am looking for a starter switch cable that would have been used on the 32 4 cylinder motors. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. If anyone has fabricated one any info would help.

Which one? The original early 38" cable (BF-14300) for use with the hand controlled starter switch or the late 8 1/2" cable (B-14431) for use with the foot controlled starter switch? NOS or NORS originals of either are scarce, but Rhode Island Wiring makes excellent reproductions of both types.

DWG32BB,
Some pictures of your project would be great!
I am fortunate my cable is still functioning to some extent. I had to make some modifications to the wire portion but wanted to still have the original knob in the cab. I finally had to remove the outer sheath and just use the wire to "pull". Then I had to add a stiff return spring (not original) to move the wire back to the home position.
All that may or may not help you. Good to know that there is a source for a reproduction B type starter cable too.
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl

Chris,


Good point! I assumed that he was seeking a battery to starter switch cable and not the control cable from the steering column bracket to the starter switch.
