I'm new to working on cars and this is my first car.

The throttle cable on my 7MGTE MK3 supra is frayed so I want to replace it before it snaps mid drive. I can't actually find any cables for sale that are specified for my car though apart from a few in the US, but I imagine the cable length is different for a LHD US car than it is for my RHD car. It's a discontinued part by Toyota.

It strikes me however that the actual cable portion would be much the same to any other cars so maybe I could just get some steel cable and somehow thread it through? Are they designed in a universal manner that the inner steel cable is basically interchangeable?

I'm not sure quite how to approach this and some advice from more experienced mechanics who know how throttle cables and throttles actually work would be helpful.

I know you can buy universal throttle cables, but I have no clue if they'll work. Maybe try that? Good luck with your supra, I've had terrible luck with mine.

So I should theoretically just be able to thread it through then

I may just sell my supra, this thing is such a gigantic pain in the ass to work on.
