WIRE GRIP - Is a unique fitting which securely attaches to solid wire end push-pull cables. Uses a "pin vice" gripping action to attach a cable. The 5/8" long 10-32 threaded end will attach a clevis, ball joint, or other hardware for use with mixture controls, carb heat box, cabin air, or other applications, resulting in a clean, professional installation. Note: Use PN 05-16001 on A790 ACS controls. Made in USA |

WIRE GRIP SHAFT + CAP .040 to .050 OD
Clever solution for connecting Bowden cable to threaded terminal. Well made. I pull tested after assembling wire grip to cable and it withstood a 100 pound pull with no sign of slippage.

WIRE GRIP FOR .078 DIA-RED
Yes, this really is an amazing piece of hardware! I have searched a year for this part. The 10-32 threads DO thread into Ball joint assy perfectly (aircraftspruce # 05-07500). These two parts seem to be made for each other. This is the highest quality solution to connect to the fuel injection contol levers, to control both throttle and mixture. Lycoming 200 hp, home built aircraft. Anything else will be second best.
The wire grip is as advertised. Basically a tiny mandrel with compression about the installed wire. I have not performed a tension test to failure, but the device appears to bind the cable quite tightly. Sufficient for most applications involve control cabling. It is noted that the wire grip is for solid wire only. Supposedly does not work well with multi-stranded cable wire. I beg to differ. Having installed on 7x19 twisted cable, it binds quite nicely, and has equal tension with the solid-core wire. Its also possible to solder tin the twisted cable ends, to basically achieve a solid wire (on the ends), If so desired, creating a multi-strand cable with solid wire ends.
Works great
These cable clamps are just the ticket. Ive seen so many planes with people trusting their lives to throttle/ mixture cables with a jam nut when they could have used these clamps.
Beautifully designed and executed. Small in diam, lightweight. The best on the market. Polished stainless. Flawless.
I installed a new fuel servo and the mixture cable end needed an alteration connecting to the servo. I tried a couple of different ways, but this wire grip fitted right over the cable end and made a very strong bond. Two things Aircraft Spruce should advertise with this item, however: - You need a perfect (99% straight cable end, otherwise it will not tighten over the cable strong enough) - You cant find a 10/32 female connection to this part at Aircraft Spruce so I needed to buy from McMaster Carr a ball joint end https://www.mcmaster.com/#60645k31/=1e6jgrz (Hint, Hint...) Otherwise it works like a charm.
Amazing piece...... make the job easy and looks good.... throttle cable in a tight place....tnx...jw
