I'm after outer sheathing for the stop cable for my 180. I've got the inner cable, its 3.5mm. I'm struggling to find the outer. Any suggestions much appreciated

Sounds a bit excessive for a pull stop. Replace the whole lot with 2.5mm inner?

What about a bit of Mig wire and a torch lead liner?
I've never tried it but recon it would work.

you need flexible conduit
If you want to make a nice job of it then a bit of glue lined heatshrink either end but be careful not to melt the conduit.
Edit:
my mistake i was thinking electricial cable.

most off road motorcyle workshops would make you one up i would think but 3.5 mil sounds overkill for a stop pull cable what length are you after and does it have to have a specific end or could you sort that. other places may be classic tractor places.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
have used a liner and 1.6mm wire before now for a very long cable on a crane ... worked fine and easy enough to replace

should've said 1.6mm Stainless wire
a 5 metre liner is almost 17ft long out the packet ... might still have the spool of stainless here if you want some wire ... can have a look

About 2 m . I'm trying to put back what was originally on it. Its had a length of thin bike cable down it for years. Now the outer is knackered i thought I'd do it proper. I've already got the cable thinking the outer was ok.

Stop cables on older tractors are usually solid wire around 1.5-2mm with an outer to suit.
