Look up repair shop for automotive instruments . 
Still some around that do mechanical driven items though most are now electronic . 
Can try under Smith Instrument repair services as Smith made instruments for many British manufactures and Motorcycle mfg.

NAPA has a universal speedo cable that has always worked for me. I've got one in a tach drive on an 8n ford as we speak. Has an assortment of diff ends that crimp on after ya cut it to length.

                Just now found your reply, sorry about delay. I never used the part number, always just walked in and told em universal speedo cable. I've used them in anything oddball and they've never failed me. Got both speedo and tach cable in my old Triumph mc now too and they've both been in there since the 70's. Last one I bought probably ten years ago cost around 5$ but in the era of Biden you might want to triple that.
