1981 rx7 throttle cable

I bought a Webcon throttle linkage set and it was supposed to utilize the stock throttle cable. It would have worked if it were long enough. I need a replacement that is just a bit longer than the stock length. Is there a throttle cable you guys think will work? I'm thinking of having one custom made because I am concerned about compatibility. Any information is awesome. TIA

The cable that came with my Webcon kit was more than long enough. I think it should be the same as Redline Weber's.

When I had the same setup I used an OEM cable but now I'm thinking maybe I used the choke cable if yours isn't long enough.

@j_tso When you put the accelerator side of the cable through the fire wall, what did you need to do to remove the yellow clip on the pedal? Do you some how reuse the yellow clip?. The pedal side of my cable is just a wire, there is no metal ball/stud.

You could use a throttle cable stop like this, I think they may be available at autozone or advance:
