09' Swivel seat replacement cable

[Dutchy]

My swivel seat cable broke ('09 Chaparral 236 SSX at the handle (little T piece)

Can't find a replacement cable. Anyone have a workaround

I only need one cable, not a complete replacement for the chairstructure

Sorry, it is not clear to me, do you need the handle or the cable?
Is that the cable you need in the picture from Cecil's?

I only need the cable for the swivel operation.

The little t bar feom the cable broke at the handle

Cecil has a complete fitment set dor 2012 onwards. I need a cable that fits a 2009

Do you have a picture of the broken piece? A picture would really help.
Is the broken piece part of the cable, and is it serviced with the cable?
I have been looking at some different angels of the unit, and the photos look like the cable is all metal. Is it broken where the cable attaches to the plastic handle?

The cable looks like it is adjustable.
Maybe you can find some type of end that you can crimp on, or one with a set screw.

Did some deeper checking, I think that all that is left is to check with boat salvage yards, find a company that will make you a cable, or is to repair yours, your girl is 14 yrs old, they don't even stock new parts for cars that old .There are companies out there that buy up new old stock. If you could get a part number, and run it on the net, that might help you locate one. Good luck, keep us posted, it may help someone else.

I love to tinker, I have more time than money, so my first choice is to repair it, if possible.

thx for the effort, no luck so far. next summer I'll have to make something myselve I'm afraid.

Judging from what I see in the photo, it looks like an easy fix, good luck.
