I believe that price may be subject to the 'it's for a kit car, so it costs more' tax.

Ouch thats a lot!
I bought one of the telexlex cables off ebay for £7.50 brand new.... It does have some weird thread on it, but should do the job....it was
cheap!...
It doesnt use bolt in bulkhead fittings like that one, it has slot in fittings which take a bit more thought!

Yes.....really easy!
I used some 4mm angle, drilled a hole, filed it into a slot, then drilled tow small holes behind...
Now all I do is slide the cable into place, then lock the cable in by twisting stainless locking wire around the cable into the small holes....
For what you want it to do, it will be fine!!!
If you want some pics U2u me and il take some

I am using the teleflex cable on my twin engine grasser (two of them obviously!! )
The slotted end is easy to solve, its exactly 3/8" OD, so run a 3/8" unf die down it and then you can mount it with a pair of 3/8"
unf half nuts (as used on imperial brake pipe bulkhead fittings.
The "funny thread" on the end fittings is 10-32 unf, which is as good as makes no difference M5.
I am using M5 female rod ends from McGill Motorsport each end, think they are a couple of quid each.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

You could get the 10 metre one for £53 from the boat place, imagine the fun changing gear with that There's
cable-tec who will make a cable to your spec.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
