Abstract
A control cable anchor for securing a control cable in an opening having an elongated body with a shouldered end, axial slots in the body surface and locking pawls positioned within the slots. The pawls have a first end spaced from the shouldered end of the body which cooperates with the shouldered end to sandwich a wall which defines the opening. The pawls have a fulcrum point which engages the bottom of the slots. The pawls are biased into their first or locking position but may pivot about the fulcrum to be retracted at least partially beneath the body surface for insertion through the opening.
