Most of those bits are still available from jaguar. See part numbers and prices on jaguar website. Always worth a look at Jaguars site first:

Hello Scott
If you don't want to go original - I just completed mine by using a bike brake cable. There was also a post long time ago about using a bike spoke
I also used a bike brake cable to go from one side to the other - just cut to length and solder the cable ends from freying
I still need to put some sealer around the outer cable to grommet - so I don't loose it over time
While I have not hit the open road with her yet - it seems to shut well
Cheers
Steve

Steve,
That is my fall back plan. I went to the local chandlery, got some 1/16 stainless rope, and crimped a ferrule on the end of it.
But for some reason, I feel like that's letting my boat life creep into my car life. I recognized that last year while rewiring my TVR. I found myself at West Marine picking up tinned wire and heat shrink terminal connectors with Blue Seas junction blocks and fuses. Why not? They are both fibreglass creations!
