The cable is apparently not readily available to the public. I don't remember the size off hand (got it at home) (3/32")but I found cable at Sears Hardware that was 1/32" smaller and used it successfully. I think it was 1/16". Get the end pieces there too to clamp on the cable.

You can get cables made at custom motorcycle shops.

That cable in the auction looks a little short for a pickup???
