Default tailgate window actuator cable

having trouble finding the cable that attaches to the power window motor that operates the regulator. i can find the motor and regulator no problem, but not the cable. i have exhausted local sources and have spent hours on the net. does anyone know where i can find one? any help is appreciated. i would rather buy new so i dont have this problem again! thanks. ok, sorry.. forgot minor detail lol! 1987 k5 with power tailgate window

First things first, what exactly are you working on? year, model etc would go a long way toward helping us help you.

Default re: cable

yeah, i have the lmc catalog, and have checked the website, again, i can find the motor and the regulator, but cannot locate the cable.. i am thinking of modifying a speedo cable. i believe the diameters are close, and the end that attaches to the motor appear to be similar to a speedo cable.
