that's a very vague question. what are you actually looking for? when i hear clock spring, i think for the turn signal stalk in the column. i've never heard of spiral cable
Yes, they are the same thing.

Any idea if this is used on other Toyota vehicles such that I an pull at junkyard?

I would not take a chance on used Air Bag parts. That is what the spiral cable is, the coil of wire that transmits voltage to your driver's air bag. Toyota uses that term, other manufacturers use "clock spring", GM used to call it the "SIR Coil".
I bought my whole vehicle used so I guess I'd take a chance on used airbag parts.
That's a great idea.

Thanks Onur!
And it is not "used", just "preowned" and will be "new" to me.
Plus remember this set of wires runs the cruise, horn and the airbag, so I will know if there are any issues with this "new" to me part. PLUS PLUS, if the airbag is disconnected, it senses the resistance change and the little light goes on the dash. My point is that it will be clear that the used part does not work.

Provided for general information. To be ignored or embraced.
The factory repair manuals specifically state: "Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, replace them with new parts."

Interesting. I'd probably follow that advice. I was mostly just being a smartass since I wasn't lucky enough to be the original owner of my cruiser (I couldn't afford a $40k vehicle when I was 15).
Beno is the part number guru!!
No, actually CruiserDan is the part number guru.
Everyone else merely plays in the sandbox.

So, what is MSRP on this fine part?
Toyota list: $351.88
MUD: $263.91
MUD: $263.91
CruiserDan definitely hooked me up on my parts, no doubt about that!
This is one of those interesting "bundling" quirks.
A complete combination switch assembly, which includes the spiral cable, is less money than the spiral cable. List $325.99, net $244.49.
So for ~20 bucks LESS you get a headlamp switch, a turn signal switch, a wiper switch, a dimmer switch AND a spiral cable.
