IF you're in the AA their service vehicles used to carry the neccessary bits, Bowden Cable, Outer Cable and solderless nipples to make cables on the roadside. Whether they still do I don't know. It might be worth asking?

Hi. It’s just ready to be replaced. Accelerator a little stiff. Just impossible to get one at the moment.

Remove the old cable, and try asking a motorcycle dealer to make a new one.

You can get lubrication tools for motorcycle cables and give that a try. Used to use them on old dirt bike cables that were always full of water and dirt.

The cable itself has lots of nice plastic connections and fittings on the outter cover that fit the car so its not easy to replicate.
