I got one from Livorsi for my trim indicator the other day and it was blue, I don't know if one type is better than the other but that must be what they recommend. I planned on putting some extra silicon in the fitting even if it does feel like a good seal.

What brand were they? I heard of some real good one's called Northwestern, or something like that.

Pretty sure it was a Teleflex cable. Not sure of the model number, I'll look at the box and shoot that over.

Here are the cables I received.They seem fine just a smaller jacket then the reds.The company I bought them from says that these will be just fine for indicators.It turns out they are a lot cheaper then the reds also.But I know the saying,"You get what you pay for".What are your thoughts?

They are standard 3300 style cables, likely the same thing that was on there new. Even quality manufacturers usually don't use Red Jacket Supremes on indicators because they are about double and overkill for indicators. If you are going to redo the controls use the best-either Red Jacket Supremes or TFXtremes-there is a huge difference in feel and control.

It's just a cable to move a plastic pointer. You're worrying too much.
