answer 1. Yes, the cable needs to be that size as the tool works by clamping the cable (without damage!).
answer 2. You're best off going for the original gear, as the ends are tapered for feeding in to the tool, cost unknown, source any 4wd shop.

Chances are most 4x4 shops wont stock a 3.2T cable. Thats a big mother. Normal size is 1.6T. They may be able to get it in. As previously suggsted, try Nobels, or another specialist winch/lifting gear supplier, or find the Oz distributor.
