Hey bud, whats the length between these points on the cable:



Basically the length from where it mounts on a bracket to where it goes to the end of the threaded rod going into the fittings on the end.

You may be able to use a hydraulic valve control cable if you can mcgyver something up, this will be the cheapest option:

This place above has a handy little guide on choosing hydraulic valve control cables.

Otherwise cable manufacturers such as Flexible Drive above or Control Connections could manufacture from sample as a custom job reusing parts from your busted sample there - but $$$.

Flexidrive industries will make you a new one if they don't have one in stock , just take your old one in or if you cant then measure it and give them the specs
