Forgot to add, on the inside lever fitting I used an electrical crimp ,the round one that looks like a washer with a crimping neck on it,just loop the end of the cable back and give it a couple of good squeezes ,the bonnet fitting is adjustable with a screw.

hope this helps Ian

Lotusbits will probably have second hand ones available. You could try SJS and PNM for a new one. Or you could send your broken cable or it's specs to a company like Speedy Cables and have a new custom one made up.
