Does anyone have the part number for a RHD car ?

I have sourced a genuine one but it's LHD and at least 6" too short.
I believe there was a recall on these cables due to the very same problem, but it was never rectified and new cables have the same flaw.
Very odd.
This looks like the right connections at the ends (the ad says it is for a B20f):

The ad says the part #1205876 but it is is not obvious whether it is for a RHD or LHD car.

I’ve just had a look at mine - wouldn’t it be possible to replace the plastic nut with a steel or brass one - cut a hacksaw slot so it could slip over the cable? Just an idea.

Good fortune,

Alan
