Speedo cables - john williams - 07-08-2018

One of our club members has a Type 65, fitted with four speed gearbox and "bacon slicer" starter. The rear gearbox housing has been inverted, so speedo  drive is in similar position to three speed gearboxes. However, the speedo is the ribbon type as used on RP and Ruby. Can anyone suggest a supplier of a suitable cable ?
