Sourcing a speedometer cable

I need help finding a new speedometer cable. I don't really care much about the cost, I just want good quality. It's for a '88 RX-7 GXL. Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

For some odd reason, the speedo and throttle cables from the dealer are fairly reasonable. Dont ask me why....
