Did you make your own Cruise Control Cable: 911 617 124 04?

So apparently the cruise control cable for my 84 is NLA (911 617 124 04) and I just need to fabricate the inner solid cable, the outer sheath is fine.
I was wondering if anyone here has made their own out of either piano/guitar/? wire and could help out with sharing the necessary materials to do so.
Appreciate it.

Yes very easy ,just phone your local piano tuner ,he has plenty,
thats what i did a few years ago,and its still ok,plus the tuner has about 2 or 3 different thicknesses.
one was exactly same thickness.

Another option is to take the cable to an old school motorcycle repair shop and they will be able to fabricate the inner portion for you.

I broke down and bought the obscenely overpriced OEM unit.

I used a guitar string. dont recall which one. just used the broken wire from the CC and picked one that was about the same.

works great. the little nub on the end went into the CC module, and I used a very small wire clamp at the TB. good luck.

I tried to order one last summer and they were no longer available. I had to buy a used one. When did you get one?
