Good luck with the project .

The funnel almost never breaks, it’s not close to any heat or light, semi protected by the transmission mount. The cable itself breaks, and Porsche hasn’t had one available in over a decade. It took me 5+ years to locate a NOS, and it was in Budapest... Seriously!
Porsche made approx 2100 912e’s in 76, approx 1300 are registered on the 912e registry. The cables (and cars!) are 40+ years old and over the years enthusiasts have cobbled 914, vw bus, bicycle etc cables to keep the cars on the road.
I’m hoping to make an Porsche OEM equivalent that is a direct replacement and maintain factory design.
Thanks for responding!
