'T' Throttle Cable

In chasing down some of the smaller detail items on my car, I had wanted to get the 'T' throttle cable working, as it was completely seized up. I got at it today and found that where it disappeared behind the sound-deadening panel on the inner firewall and BEFORE it emerged on the engine side, the outer sheath of the cable was so badly corroded, that it had broken in several places and the inner cable was subsequently badly kinked. The knob on the dash obviously matches the rest of the car, so want to stay with that, but the cable assembly seems like it is swaged together as a one-piece-er. Not thinking it would be very easy to come up with used or NOS on this item, was wondering if anyone has gone through this exercise before?? Any tricks or shortcuts?? Chris.
