dunno how long it will lat but i attached the cable to a choke knob by cutting a slot in the choke knob shaft and sticking in the cable then glueing it in with "knead it", dunno how long it will last.

That knead it is good stuff... we often use it to repair cracked engine cases out in the bush when somebody bins their bike.

I cut the choke cable knob off and then cut the bonnet cable knob off, then welded the shaft of the choke cable knob to the shaft of the bonnet cable, then filed it up and it worked a treat.
