Default Throttle Cable

Alright. I re designed the pusher trailer and am sourcing parts for it. Does anyone know where I can find a 120" cable for the throttle?

Thanks in advance.

Or get a used hood latch cable from a salvage yard . Then cut to size and solder it. When I worked in collision repair I saved them all the time.

Thank you all. Here in Prescott, AZ we have Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) so I went down to the airport and spoke with one of the mechanics and I bought enough airplane control cable and sleeve to make this jProject. Thank you to everyone who responded!
