Patrick, I used bicycle shifter cables. Peal back just enough of the plastic sheath to screw the wire outer cable into the knob housing. Any good bicycle shop should be able to sell you just the outer cable.

Worked for me.

Cheers,

Since you're further along, let me ask you this: the original black (rubber/plastic?) cable sleeves on my choke and something-else cables (both coming from the pull-knobs in the dash) are cracked and partly-missing for my car; did you have to replace yours, and/or would you know where to obtain replacements? I haven't seen this at the major suppliers' websites (haven't checked Re-Originals, however). Thanks.
