Theres a guy in Swansea who I used to use for cables, both handbrake and control cables, cannot remember the name of the place but he will do one offs from pattern and he wasnt expensive, I think a Bedford CA handbrake cable was under £15.
Perhaps try googling?

Hi Rob
Dont know much about VW specifics yet, but kept an awful lot of vintage lorries/coaches/busses/fairground vehicles working over the years, just trying to pass on easy cheap solutions for people where I can. The guy I used would put new inners in old outers if unobtainable and saved me a lot of time and money and chasing over the years.
Please bear with me if the bit has an issue thats not easily remidied by a cable maker.

hang about fella.im sure your help is much appreciated.its just that the cup piece on the cable is vw specific.and the guy needs to be aware of this.

just trying to pass on easy cheap solutions for people where I can.
