Abstract
An adjustable actuator cable assembly has cable support member supported in an outer sleeve. A securing member is radially movable in an opening of the outer sleeve between an unlocking position permitting axial adjustment of the cable support member in the sleeve and a locking position locking the cable support member and sleeve against relative axial movement. The securing member includes radially extending teeth engageable into a softer material of the cable support member to plastically deform the surface of the cable support member when moved to the locking position.
