So, I shouldn't ask for advice on the forum then?? I should just assume that nobody will want to share their knowledge in order to help other members.
I'm quite capable of making a throttle cable, but just thought that one of the many advocates of EFI over carbs might be able to save me some time.

RR Efi should fit - the pedal end is a clevis and pin on both so it's the other end that is different. I think the efi has a longer cable length between the adjuster and the clevis. On a Series you have to make one up as the whole throttle pedal is completely different with rods and levers

Thanks matt.
I'd already measured the distance between the adjuster and pin on the efi mechanism and realised I'd need a longer cable. I just wasn't sure that RRC and Disco had the same pedal end.
I have a 3m length of Vespa gear cable that I can use as a lash up in the mean time though.
