Some time ago, due apparently to arcing from the accelerator cable to my
battery isolator terminals, that cable broke in mid-trip.  I managed an
emergency repair that has survived 5 years, but would now prefer to replace
that cable, as I'm concerned that I may not be getting maximum acceleration
due to the splice running into the firewall.  And let me tell you, with a
1.7 in Colorado, I need maximum acceleration.

I cannot find the OE. This was originally a diesel, but was converted to a
gas (Rabbit) before I owned it, so possibly the OE wouldn't work anyway.  I
believe all I really need is an appropriately sized cable (bicycle shop?),
the cable ends or stops, and some way to attach them.  Does anyone have
experience with replacing this, and suggestions on appropriate parts?

Thanks, as always.
