throttle, and kickdown cables

Is there any suppliers for the throttle and kickdown cables for my 91.5 D250? My kichdown cable must have moisture in it cause it freezes up i the cold, and I have no throttle untill its warm, also the throttle cable is getting a little tough lookin after close to 300K...

Also check the throttle pivots on the plate on the motor.



Mine were almost seized and when I stepped on the throttle it would not return. Disassembled everything, cleaned and lubed and it works like a dream now.

A little lube went a long way!! I sprayed some justice brothers lube on the kickdown cable down on the tranny, and sprayed some up in the collar on the cable at the belcrank, worked the cable about 3 million times, and whola, good as new. I still am gonna need a throttle cable here before too long, I dont like the frayed cable.

Thanks guys for pointing out the obvious!!
