I just had that experience, and found a N.O.S. one on ebay for lots of money and a new repop here:

If just the inner cable and you can re-use your housing, a universal one will probably work. You cut to length and use a little crimper that comes in the kit to attach the square drive for the speedometer. Cheap at auto parts if they still carry them.

I got an inner cable repair kit from these folks:

It's item #43002 about 3/4ths down the page. $23.00

These guys at Imperial Services can make you a new one to order.

Imperial Services builds cables for Schumacher Creative Services (engine swaps.com). Sometimes Imperial can be difficult to contact, but Schumacher has always come through for me.

The best way is to use email [email protected]

to contact imperial services, the email on the web site is old and not used anymore.

Is there anything to look out for with one of these kits? Summit has a 120" kit for $6. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/atp-yc101

I didn't see the Summit kit, or I probably would have bought it. From the website, it seems very similar to the one I bought. MUCH cheaper, and quite a bit shorter.
I had enough to rebuild two cables with some left over. So I bought a couple of extra tips, in case I need to do it again.
The staking tool that came with the kit I got is apparently a one-shot gadget, so I used my serious crimper. I imagine that the Summit kit would be the same.
Not a problem if you're fixing one cable and not stockpiling parts to do another.

I would like to redo both my Barracuda and 56 F-100. Is the Abody cable longer than 5 foot? Still cheaper to get 2 summit kits if I need extra. Thanks Bob.
