When I bought my car (SS) it had a broken left rear cable and number 6 and 3 appeared to be missing. Home made the missing items out of stainless steel that may or may not have been sourced from where I may or may not work.

One day not long after, I removed the original spare tyre and cleaned out the boot area and found a number 6 but number 3 probably got lost when the cable broke.

I have bought from Auto Cables and reckon you can't go wrong. Look and fit as good as originals.

Scotts Old Rubber is another place to price check cables.
