Speedometer cable replacements

[08dents]

Hi my speedo cable just snapped on my 1.8 single carb roadster with fourspeed box does anyone know of a supplier (does the cable from the MGB fit).I have managed to source odd parts before from my local Rover Dealers but unsure if this is still possible.
the cable i have just removed had some numbers taped to it (17-5 91) and (417802) does anyone know if either of these is the part number. cheers

There were two on ebay as well when I flicked through yesterday

Failing that, there is a old Morris repair place across the river from me, if you need it, email me and I'll pass the details on.

Thanks all for your help. Bob jackson came up with Earl Part LTD a check on there website gave me the phone number and said part was delivered within 24 hrs. under ?15 including p&p. It took longer to fit because I had to re route the cable to lose some of the sharp bends that caused the break.(Lee) I am up for a Drive round the Lakes any weekend name the Pub and I will meet you and any one else that would like to turn up. (The Queens at Troutbeck is very nice and central)

When my last one broke Halfords got me one within a day. Took me a lot longer to get round to fitting it though.
