I don't have the new cable yet, but I tried all sorts of cables and they had one of two problems. Either they were too short to reach from the dash.. to the OD with enough length to make easy turns, etc so that it didn't bind. OR, the throw was too short so you pulled the entire shaft out of the holder and had the whole mess dangling inside the cab. This was a real problem that I never solved until hopefully now. I will give you the dimensions if someone else doesn't when I get the cable. Of course nowadays, a remote control servo is a possibility, but I want the mechanical connection.
