Longer throttle cable

G'day all, five or so years ago when I did my Gen 3 3SGTE conversion, I used the 91 NA with cruise control (not fitted) throttle cable. I was able to make it just work by making a new bracket, to secure it to the throttle body inlet, and by routing the cable between the two intercooler pipes to get a more direct route.
 
Now I've installed my freshly rebuilt engine (with a phenolic spacer on the intake manifold), the throttle cable is too short.
 
Does anyone know what options I have for a replacement cable, as I doubt Gen 3 3SGTE ones are common to find second hand.
Will a Gen 2 or Gen 3 NA (without cruise control) throttle cable work?
 
Thanks.

    Order genuine new from amayama with the part number.
    DVS_MR2 has one from memory - gen 3 parts (Brisbane)
    Or... Go to your local motorbike repair shop (not dealer - motorbike mechanics) and they can make it at the length you need :) usually cheapest / fastest

    Thanks, I've ordered a Rev2 Turbo cable (with no cruise control).
     
    See how that one fits when it arrives.
