A few weeks ago I researched how to set up an engine turning (or jeweling) jig. After a few trials, I believe I accomplished what I was hoping for. Has anyone else done their dashboard or firewall in this pattern? Afterwards, I gave it three coats of clear to help keep it clean. Total cost was under $20, but a lot of labor to set up and burnish close to 750 swirls between these two pieces.

I have a 2005 Shelby Cobra and the throttle cable has broken free of the gas peddle. The plastic ring around the throttle cable is still in tact. The gas peddle where the cable would connect to has bent and the if I try and put cable back in the hole it slides out. I'm assuming I may need to buy a new throttle cable and gas peddle to get everything working correctly. Where can I buy this or is this something I can fix with out replacing everything?
