An end fitting device is provided for axially adjustable connection of an end portion of a motion transmitting cable to an actuating member. The end fitting device comprises a housing having a receiving space adapted for receiving the end portion of the cable via a cable entry; a connector member comprising a ball pin receiver adapted for engaging a ball pin, and having an engaged state and a disengaged state; a locking element adapted for locking the axial position of the cable end portion relative to the housing and being movable between a non-locking position and a locking position; and a force bridge connected to the locking element such that the locking element is displaced from its non-locking position to its locking position when an engaging force is applied to the end fitting device in order to bring the connector member into its engaged state.
