Hey Steve, on my old car I spent a lot of time getting the accelerator cable and connections to work buttery smooth.

Theres a business up here called Marine Control Systems (I am sure that there would be something like that where you are). Anyway they assisted with what I wanted with Teflon lined, flared housing end fittings to minimize any friction and little rod ends for the end connection. Anyway, result was perfect smooth operation and strong, and cost was minimal.
