Hopefully in Canada? Running into a problem, see the diesel build thread.

Terry Cable will make them to specified length if you call them.

Where is Terry Cable? And how do I get in touch with them?
Thanks!

I've ordered custom shifter cables form them but did not know they'd make accelerator cables. They're great guys.
EDIT: I wonder if they'd do clutch and speedo cables for the 914 also. There have been lots of complaints about what is currently available.

A high end bicycle shop, seriously.

When I was over at their shop, they have every size /shape of push, pull, stranded, ball end, barrel end, accelerater, park brake, choke, etc.
My SQS sequential shifter came from Czech Republic with a Too-short of a shift cable; set up for rear engine 996gt2 transaxle. I gave ControlCable the correct length (for mid-engine use), the cable-end description, and the unit that they custom made was Spot On. Now working on my accelerater cable for the Tilton pedal set.

Do NOT buy the Terry cable.
I did.... But the part that runs through the tunnel comes without outer sleeve.

I can feel it rubbing against other stuff in the tunnel, so its not going to last very long.

Ordered a replacement cable from 914 Rubber. They did make custom length for me (added length to reach the carb- X-bar).

Good luck

Just pulled mine out and don't see any issues. What could have happened inside the tunnel ? it worked fine for a couple of years and then started binding up. The plastic sleeve over the cable does have a little cut on it in one spot but feels like it's working fine. Going to order a new custom length cable maybe from 914 rubber but I think the probem is elsewhere.

Tried sending email to 914 rubber from their website a few days ago.... no answer. Anyone got a good email address for them?
