CMC panbased with a sleeved accelerator cable.  It looks a bit worn so I'd like to order a new one for replacement this winter--hopefully not any soon as fall approaches. What is the proper length to order? Mine looks somewhat like this--

It's not really a question of length.  At the carb we use a barrel end that the cable passes through for the linkage and the cable gets captured by a screw to hold it in place.  We just buy a VW cable assy, install it and then cut off the excess 12" or so.  That way it's always the right length for your car (especially on a CMC!)  

So you could buy one from Carey at Beck, or just get a VW version from CIP1, Bug City,  Mid-America....etc.  You'll probably end up cutting the end off anyway for the proper length.  The Morse (Bowden) tube going from the frame to the fan shroud is the same length as a VW sedan so you can get one anywhere.
