The OP is going to have some test done on just how durable it will be if he does this and sells it to the public. He completely understands were the weak points are in the cables and would improve those areas before something would be offered to the public. The OP does have a Manufacturing and Restoration back ground. There are a lot of things that PG needs to improve on products they sell. 71birdj68 have you talked to them about their quality of this product. Likely there has never been any durability tests on this product and they would rely on the public for feed back. Does not mean anything would be done about the product but you hope they would.

The last time I commented on a conversation I had with PG, I got a vacation from here. I called them about something else, and the response was like everybody else in the industry, nobody else has complained, must just be me. I welcome what the OP is doing, as this is a product that is needed.

First cable in in a car and was driven, this cable is functioning fine. I found a supplier for the ball ends and ordered 100. I also have the specs for the method of fastening the ball and the specs for testing the strength of the swedge.
Looks very promising, what I will offer is cable restoration service of original cables only. Price will be determined once I am ready to offer he service which is after I test the cable.

For what it's worth. My car (70' Charger) has had a 440 4 barrel, a 440 Six pack & a dual car 426 Hemi in it over the years all with the same throttle cable with no issues. May not have been 100% factory correct but it worked just fine.
