I just use a heavy duty motorcycle throttle cable in whatever length required, think out sleeve is 5mm. Loads of it on eBay

Thanks buddy!

The problem it comes with a type of half moon cylinder ball at the top of the cable that goes into the lever and the 'barrel' type at the end to the carbs. Ive found similar online but not exactly.
Might need to modify the lever at the top then.

You could try Burton Power - pretty handy for bits for Ford car and engine bits.

Thanks, I did find them online for Ford cables but the fitting wasnt the same.
Its very unique and different. I managed to find a local shop who will custom make it.
