Any idea where I can get a new hand throttle cable and knob? OR is there an alternative that could be sourced locally i.e. tractor supply etc? I really like these on cold mornings.

I got my hand throttle from one of the J**p on-line retailers. Sorry, I don't recall which retailer or the brand.

Seems like a saw one in the Tom's Bronco Parts catalog.

If you can't find an exact replacement, the stock choke cable/knob replacements are very close. Virtually the same look of course, and almost the same functionally (cable reaches to the same basic area) and might be a reasonable substitute.

Or check the parts for sale area on the website.

I will not be using mine (and hasn't been connected for years because I live in Phoenix). I should be tearing apart the dash in the 30 days. Waiting for BC Broncos to send me my new dash. Pm me if interested.

The hand throttle cable doesn't leave the cab, it's only from the knob to the pedal assembly. It doesn't go to the carb like the choke cable. Not sure if all pedal assemblies have the hand throttle capability, anyone know? All three of mine have the hand throttle so I don't have another pedal assembly to look at.

There is a bracket that installs behind the accelerator pedal that the cable hooks to. You can upgrade any Bronco to the hand throttle with the bracket and cable.

Disregard my comment about seeing one in the Tom's catalog, I was thinking choke cable.

I've bought 2 of them .. I got mine out the back of those 4x4 magazines. Mostly Jeep advertisements. But It's really just a bicycle cable .. COST ABOUT 20.00
& I really like mine .

Wow I didn't know JB Fabs made one of these but if it works half as good as the TWINS STICKS . This will be a good one.

Ok I might be a little off the point here but thought I would throw it out there ... I work on fire trucks every day some models have a outside throttle that is a Reostat (hope I spelled that right) ... you would have to have a fly by wire throttle ... I’m thinking coyote build but would be cool .. look up fire research controls.
Sorry if I’m too far off the mark
