They come in 1ft increments over here. I highly doubt there is such thing as cut to length.

Hmm, not ideal.
I've measured and the lengths I need are 635mm and 565mm. It's for a tiller control yamaha 70.
I've phoned Hindle controls and they're going to call me back if they've got anything.
There must be a lot of different lengths to suit all the tiller controlled outboards out there?

sorry, forgot to say!
That was the difficult bit, they have to be a fairly exact length in order for them to work without kinking
