I have been through this with a couple customers. The cables are different. You need to find someone parting a 96-98 Cobra or someone "upgrading" to the 99-01 C heads and intake.

 

I was afraid of that. I am a machinist so I guess that I'll have make a new throttle cable bracket for him. The '99-'01 cable is 10 inches longer but I believe the mounting point is different. Only found one used one and they want $200.

 

cable

check ebay,I thought I saw a new one for 125.00 on a buy it now.

 

Someone needs to check if the 01 Bullitt throttle cable is the same, because i'm pretty sure it is..

 

Will a GT cable work?
I have one from a GT (99-04) if it will.
PM me if it will work for you.

 

A '99-'04 GT cable is about 1" too short and the bracket is different. Thanks anyway. I will check e-bay.

 

The 01 Bullitt Cable is 30.5" long, and you use a 96-98 cobra throttle body with the intake so it has to be the same.. See if you can try that?

 

This might sound a bit odd, but here goes.
Doesn't a Terminator have the TB in the same spot as a 96-98 Cobra?
If so, would that work?

 

I have never owned or looked closely at a '99 up cobra engine. I have a 2001 GT and the cable mounts to the bracket by pushing it into a square hole and then 4 push clips lock it in. The 1998 cobra has a metal flange built onto the cable and a single bolt holds it onto the bracket. So you '99 up cobra and bullit owners, do me a favor and go look at how your cable fastens to the throttle cable bracket.

 

The 99 and later 4V cars have the square bracket deal like the GT you mentioned above.

 

I'm swapping to c heads and no longer need mine. I do need a the 99/01 cables and bracket though.

 

I've been through this same situation. I ended up getting a cable from Lokar but it needed modified to work. That is total BS of Ford to discontinue it like they did. I guess they expect us to buy a new car if our throttle cable breaks! I'd suggest buy a 99/01 cable and bracket and trade jzcobra96.

 

My friend located one already so I am no longer in need of a cable. I would like to get to the bottom of this so I am going to look at a Bullitt this weekend but I am pretty sure it is going to have the newer style mounting procedure. I will then look into switching throttle cable brackets to see if the cruise and throttle will work correctly. If none of the above works out I will have a CNC at work punch out about 10 "adapter" brackets because I agree this is total BS on Ford's end.
