I need a longer throttle cable for my ITB conversion. My car is LHD so maybe I could use RHD car throttle cable. I think it should be longer then the one from LHD Clio. Could anyone measure the length of RHD throttle cable for me so that I can compare the length and see if this is a viable solution?
This are different cable routings

Owner of this beautiful engine bay is Snowman. I hope he doesn't mind that I used his pic.
can you not run it straight down the cam pulley side of the engine ?

I could if my car was RHD, but it's LHD so it must be routed like yellow line shows.

Hmmm, I don't know what I was thinking. I rechecked where throttle cable attaches on my ITB's and it's on the right side , not the left side (as on the pic). Cable still needs to be a little bit longer, but not that much. So I'm pretty confident RHD cable would do the job.
Can someone please tell me how much new throttle cable costs?

I hope the one at Renault Parts Direct would do the job?

Disassemble the throttle linkage and turn it around so the cable attachment is on the left hand side. Then use the std. Jenvey cable.
Thats what i did....
