yep, rear cable works best, just trim off the excess.

get a powerglide cable or a teflon lined one  :daumenhoch:

I always use a Rear Linear for running through a Pots mod and lube it with some Teflon or Silicon grease prior to installation :daumenhoch:

if you want to stay era correct then a DC cable works just fine!  don't forget though, whatever one you end up using....when you fit it, cut the outer to length and put it in place, then squirt a load of WD40 down the top of the outer, this will form a nice little puddle in the bend at the forks and keep things lubed up nice and smooth  :daumenhoch:
