ABSTRACT:
A steering unit comprised of a housing which has a disc rotatably mounted therein. The disc has a grooved outer peripheral surface and has a push-pull control cable attached thereto. The push-pull control cable is attached to the disc via an inner cable. The improvement comprises a concave portion formed in the outer peripheral surface of the disc. This concave portion extends into the outer peripheral surface of the disc to a greater degree than the groove which is in the peripheral surface of the disc. The inner cable is attached to the disc at the low point of this concave indentation in the periphery of the disc. The inner cable and the concave portion of the disc are connected by means of an end fitting extending between the end of the cable and the concave portion. The end fitting is generally inclined from the groove in the disc into the concave portion whereat a head portion secures the head fitting to the concave portion of the disc.
