Melbar Engineering in Taita or Contour Brakes in Birch Street, Waterloo - if they're still there.

I bought cable and bits to make a clutch cable from Macs Yamaha in Upper Hutt, he had a pretty good range but said not many people make their own any more. Another lost art.

There is a guy a few hundred metres from where I live has a business repairing automotive instruments, both the old kind and the electrickery type. I did note the presence of a large roll of speedo cable in his workshop.

Bike shop can get anything in but used both melbar for complete and venhil for bits before.
Have a 76a on the workbench at present.
