I own a Coleman Destiny 1993. Yesterday I overcranked it and the rear left cable snapped. I called a local repair company and they informed me that the part may not be able to be ordered or fixed. I read elsewhere that some people have fixed cables by purchasing from Lowe's and cutting. Is this repair possible and if so does anyone know where to purchase the cable?
In my mind, the trick isn't getting the repair cable (take a sample to Lowes or Home Depot and where you buy chain in the hardware department, you can get replacement cable), The real trick is anchoring the new cable.
Some cables depend on specialized anchors. If you can't duplicate how the ends are held down, you won't be able to replace the cable with anything but a replacement part.
I suggest taking the assembly apart and seeing how the cable ends are held in. If you can replicate that, then measure how much cable you need and take a sample down to Lowes or Home Depot or Ace Hardware and get some replacement cable.
