Hopefully a '53 owner will chime in, but for what it's worth I did the same swap on my '51 and the stock cables for '51 work perfect. I'd suspect you would have the same luck.

I would guess that the 53 cables will work. As Scott said, the 48-52 cables work just fine in the 9"

They are on my todo list for my 49 for this spring
