Where to get paddle shift cables?

Where can i get some sleeved metal cable from to make my paddle shift up? was thinking along the lines of push bike brake cable but was wanting something a little thicker. Any ideas?

MNR do them, but they're not cheap!

I'd be interested to know where to get one cheaply myself for the future.

Try Cable Tec. We have used a series 4 push/pull cable on ours. They're a great bunch of guys and extremely helpful.

I bought a cable from MNR. Paid quite a bit of money for it too. It was aircraft spec, but snapped around 3,000 miles.

I'm now using Teleflex / Morse Control Cables. They are used to turn outboard motors? Seem to be available in loads of lengths, and the rod ends I got from MNR swapped straight over. I got mine from a local boat chandlers.

See here for the sort of thing / cost ebay

Also here ebay

In fact now have a spare under the passenger seat, just in case.
