Speedometer question

I'm working on a custom dash with autometer gauges and the speedometer is giving me some fits. I have a mechanical speedometer and tried to order an adapter that would work with my stock speedo cable, but everywhere I've found one advertised said they are out of stock and no longer available. Also, the speedo cable is 118" long that fits into my NP205 and I can't find an aftermarket one long enough to work. So now, I thinking I may need to convert to electrical. Where would I find a speed sensor to fit my NP205? Also, if anyone has any other ideas to make a mechanical work, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Speedo cable

Check with speed shops in your area, they should know of a shop that can build you a cable.
