Default I need a longer cable

I am trying to find a 13' long push/pull cable to run from the panel to my oxygen bottle which mounts behind the baggage compartment of the RV-10. The biggest one that I can find is 12' from spruce. which is about 6" to short. Anybody got any ideas?

Try looking for automobile cables. Drop by your local AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilleys, Napa, etc. If they can't find you one long enough, contact Dorman Cables - they could probably make you one, just don't tell them it's going in an airplane. "My Custom Rod" always works.

I read the title of this thread and thought to myself...

"Self, is that a euphmisim for a personal problem?"
