there used to be, maybe still, universal Choke cables available from Auto stores, if all else fails, Dave

Glenn is correct, I had to replace the choke cable in the yellow peril some time ago and found one at either Repco or Bursons ( I can't remember which as I find lots of universal parts at both).

It is branded as Bonnet release/ choke cable and you cut it to the desired length. the only problem was that it comes with the cable attached to a standard black knob, not the one with the "C" in the middle. Cheap as chips, around $20 from memory., threaded in nicely and was long enough to give a nice wide loop for easy operation. Piccies attached

for a more 'original' under bonnet look, buy some black heat shrink tubing from Jaycar or Altronics and shrink it over the exposed outer, once the length is worked out.
