Default accelerator cable

Is there a cross reference for the accelerator cable. I cant find one on line and mine is coming loose at the peddle.

Well the end is still on the cable, the back side of the plastic grommet is broken off so it is loose and slips out. I will probably just attach it with some temp adhesive for now until I come up with a better idea.

I could always just fill in the hole with JB weld and put a new end on the cable.

Ok I made a plate with the slot to the hole on the side so when attached it would trap the cable in the hole. Two speed screws and its in place. Much better than the JB weld idea.

Thats what I found as well, the cable is still good it just got brittle with age and came off of the peddle. 2 screws and a small metal tab fixed it for now.
