TTA Cruise Control Cable Same as the GN one?

As per the title .... I can get hold of a NOS cruise control cable for the GN and like to keep one spare for the TTA but not sure if they are the same?

The cruise control diaphragm is different than the GN, so it wouldn't surprise me if the cable is different because the length may be different. I replaced the diaphragm and mechanism years ago when I punctured it - got it from the J-Yard. I guess I must have gotten it from a regular Gen III V-8, but I don't remember exactly.

Hi,
Due to the different mounting places of the servo between the two cars,I think the GN cable may be a little short,not sure.

Thx Dan, if you can compare the GN and TTA one and see if they are identical would be great.
