Do need just the inner or inner & outer cable?

I need both as the inner cable has stretched and is jammed in the outer cable, it will be easier to just fit a new system.

There was a guy at St Mary's, who rebuilt speedo, dials/clocks and also made to measure speedo cables to suit any spec. I would hazard a guess that he also does bonnet release cables.

Now I remember he was on Glossop St (st marys bypass) LH side heading towards Forrester rd. Not far from Forrester. Maybe I'll remember later what his name is.

Amazing what a fresh squeezed coffee does. "Attspeed Auto Instruments" U1 35/37 Glossop. But he sends bonnet cables away (?) and recommends local import/ suppliers. Sorry I've wasted your time.
