Default Where to find flex cable?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows if flex cable stock exists, and if so, where can I find it. Specifically, I'm look for the 1/16 steel flex cable used in the Du-bro throttle cable assemblies, but I am looking for the cable alone, without all of the accessories that come with it (I have plenty of those things). Would someplace like Lowes or Home Depot carry it? Thanks in advance! [sm=shades_smile.gif]

True Value and some of the big box stores carry it. I've used bicycle brake/shifter cable before as well.

I believe Hobby Lobby still sells bulk braided wire cable.
