I ordered one from the states because the d!@k head that makes them here in wollongong wanted 5 times more than what it was worth to buy one in from ecklers. If they are not long enough you can buy these small cable extensions to make them long enough for RHD.
I know there are a few people that make them in sydney so you should be able to get one made, just look in the phone book for someone that does speedo or instrument repairs as they usually are equiped to make them up on site.

I have heard of people using commodore cables.  There would have to be something of a similar length here surely!

Glenn, Chromie got mine made for me.  Really good cable, super flexiable.  He keeps a range in stock.

Yes there is
Advance Automotive Instruments Co
unit B1/77 Carrington St Revesby
Ph 97927399

Just need to tell them the lenght and what it's going into each end, a sample is good too. and they were quick, if you organize it with them they may make it while you wait.

Hope this helps
James
