You can order them through Jim and his gang at Good Vibrations (http://www.goodvibesracing.com/) or go direct to the source at Control Cables (http://www.controlcables.com/). Murf McKinny also carries them in even foot (and six inch) increments (http://www.mckinneycorp.com/). Both Good Vibes and McKinney are also used to shipping overseas.

Yeah, I am from the south--any further south and I would have been a bloody penguin.

We've always had good luck withe these folks, but can't say if they will sell to an overseas consumer: http://www.power-trans.net/

Good luck.

Thanks Roo, are these the low resistance, super bendy ones you can virtually tie a knot in ?

Yep, they still work smoothly with a bend radius of less than 2"
