ABSTRACT:
A two-piece cable mounting arrangement is provided for a vehicle gearshift mechanism support base comprising an upper-half section and a bottom-half section of molded synthetic plastic material adapted to receive a pair of tubular cable guides end fittings therebetween. An upstanding bolt is fixed to the support base and extends through a central boss integral with the bottom-half section. The bottom-half section includes a pair of support blocks having concave troughs cradling an associated end fitting on either side of the boss. The upper-half section has a central wall portion receiving the bolt therethrough whereby the wall portion rests on the boss. The wall portion is formed with a pair of downwardly facing concave half-circle sectioned shell portions matching the pair of concave troughs such that each end fitting is captured between its associated lower trough and upper shell portions. The wall portion has an undercut locating notch interlocking with an upstanding tongue portion of the base. The half-sections are readily secured to the base by a nut and bolt to retain the end fittings in a resiliently biased axially floating manner thereby obviating the passage of sound and vibration from the vehicle drive line to the gearshifting mechanism.
