I just located a place that specialized in making cables. In this case it was a marine shop, I took measurements, took my old cable in so they could reuse the fittings and they made up a new one.  From memory it cost about $50.

Accelerator cable??    Can anyone give me advice on what longer accelerator cabke i can use for v6motor.  Beddie  doesn't fit ( different cable attachements ) and commodore is to short... any suggestions would be helpfull.  not sure yet if any other model commodore is longer for me to use... thanks all 

Hi mate,
I used the standard Beddie cable in mine and modified the mounts at the motor.  that way I carry a standard spare beddie cable and I am covered if it ever breaks.  I used the round pivot circle thingy from the standard Beddie carby on the VT throttle body and it works a treat and it pulls from the driver's side of the vehicle.  It then had a knock on effect because I didn't need extra width on the passenger's side for a cable to wrap around without kinking.
I also used the CRS sump on mine as it allowed me to install the V6 into the hole without having to cut anything at all from behind the motor. Just widened it a little.  This was a big plus with the engineer for rego as there is a structural rib under the floor that was untouched.  Could then make up a screw together engine cover as the cabin/floor strength was intact. I also retained the original auto gearshift by using the CRS sump. Oh, and also the original gearbox crossmember and mount.

IMHO the CRS sump kit is worth its weight in gold for a Beddie V6 swap.

Cheers
