Can anyone point me to a supplier of control coil suitable for J Model Harley-Davidsons - that is, the spiral wound metal sheath within which the control wire itself slides. Preferably I want a match - both in diameter and pitch of the coil - as I want to re-use the original coil end plugs and control coil nuts with their left hand threads.
I've had a preliminary search here in New Zealand without much luck, though it's still a work in progress.
I know that Competition Distributing advertise control coils complete with wire and end plug, but my preference is to reuse as much of the original as possible. (In part because I'm using reproduction handlebars supplied a few years ago by Comp. Dist. which appear to have a narrower bore than the originals, at least at the grip end, and, as a result, I have had to turn down the spiral plunger and coil end plug to a good sliding fit. I don't want to waste the effort!)
