Subject:"Thanks" + Throttle cable coupler? (PIC)

Hi all.

First off, thanks for the help re: gas pedal movement (drivetrain
movement) and surging at low speeds in 1st gear. I thought an extra
motor mount would cure this. (Subject was 'Short Motor Mount....' )

Problem: I had tethered the Vanagon portion of the throttle cable  to
the frame. (don't ask.... :^)

Solution (untested): I made a bracket to hold the Vanagon and Jetta
cables to tranny/engine as a unit. Should solve the problem.

Drawing a blank here. I'm tired and googling to no avail.

Question:

Anyone know of a solid coupler that could slip over each cable end to
tie them together?

They *almost* touch as is, so a slip on coupler would be great!

Thanks!

Neil.
