Reusing ends to make up speedometer cable
Seems nobody has W124 cables in stock except a couple questionable Ebay listings. Mine was sheared right in the middle, but I pulled the ends and both look clean and intact. I've been driving with a GPS unit but that doesn't get the cruise control working!
Since it appears the inner square cable just plugs into the fittings on both ends as usual, is there any reason I can't carefully remove them, get a standard Dorman cut to length cable, and fabricate some sleeves to crimp/epoxy/otherwise attach the Mercedes ends?
Is the square cable maybe metric sized or something tricky like that?
