I ordered this Z Bend wire stop for the chute deflector cable on one of my snowblowers. The cast Z Bend broke (Briggs & Stratton deflector chute cable: P/N 771734). That cable assembly cost over $96 after shipping and taxes, and my machine was out of service for 5 days while I waited for the part.
There were two unanswered questions at the time I placed my order
(1) The coated chute wire is about 5/64 inches (1st photo), which matches the stated hole size in the product description (2nd image).
(2) The broken Z end is 10.74mm -2.42mm gap, or originally unbroken around 8.25mm. The YGQ Z end is only 6.7mm so will it hold being about 1.5mm short?
The answer to question 1 is 2 parts. The cable entered the collar, but not the hole in the Z bend (3rd photo). I drilled out the hole in the Z bend with a 5/64" drill bit, and the cable is now well seated inside this wire stop. There are two set screws: one requires a hex key (provided) and the other a Philips screwdriver (not provided). This Z Bend shortens the cable by about 5mm, and I might be able to accommodate that at the other end of the cable assembly with the adjustment bolts.
The answer to question 2 is to be determined. It will fit the hole in the handle, but the question is whether it will stay in place when I am out working, or with the set screw, keep the cable secure in the wire stop. I am inclined to believe that the tension on the cable will keep this Z-bend securely in place. I will have to wait and see about the set screw.
The bottom line for me is that I now have two deflector chute cables and the ability to replace other broken Z-bend wire stops on two different snow blowers economically.
