Throttle cable broken, Where the purchase new one (914 Rubber is out). Options

[HansJan]

Ok. It was my turn to break down.
The throttle cable broke.
I was able to crank up the idle and limp to work.

Looking to buy new cable, so I can get back on the road.
914Rubber is sold out. Where can I buy a new one (for carbureted car with X-bar linkage).

Auto Atlanta might have them, but with them you never know when to expect the parts.

Now I have really done it.
This 'easy' throttle cable replacement became a major issue.

Not knowing if the Terry Cable (the one they send me, that does not have a sleeve around it for the section thats in the tunnel) I went to install it. Just to see if it would work.
Without the sleeve I assumed that the cable it not stiff enough, so I wanted to install a pull-rope. I tied a pull-rope to the end of the cable that Pelican Parts send me (the one where the threads broke upon install) and pulled it through the tube. At least that was the plan. It got stuck inside the tube. I guess the rope together with the end-fitting is too much to fit through the tube. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Now I really do not know what to do. I removed the middle seat and tunnel cover. Then part of the center console and the shifter assembly. But I still cannot see the end of the tube.

Oh... Did I mention that the pull-rope broke..?

Please please help, before I do some more stupid stuff.
Does anyone here have a picture that shows how I can see and reach the end of the guide-tube? I'm just hoping that the end-fitting is still sticking out somewhat.

Alternatively I could pull much harder on the cable from the bulkhead. But changes are that it get worse.
