I haven`t seen one but was told by a mate that bought one new when they 1st came out that the cable went to the drivers side (he is diesel machanic so should know what he was looking at), a 2.8 cable goes across the motor to the passengers side and is WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to long for my 1UZ, even the cable that came with the half cut is longer then I want :roll:

Cool thanks that would be great. The measurements I need are the overall length, the length of the thread at the motor end and the length of the cable that is past the threaded bit.
