I used the 36" Lokar cable. It was 50 bucks but works perfectly and can be trimmed to fit even tighter.

My throttle cable is essentially just like Swapper's. It's a bike brake cable with cable adjusters on both ends (throttle bracket and firewall).

I put the cut end on the throttle body and the sealed ball end on the pedal so I could do any adjusting and fastening in the engine bay instead of under the dash.

I just used a cable stop from the parts store, pulled it tight in the throttle hub and tightened the stop, then did any adjusting I needed to to get the throttle blade to sit flush against the stop.
