LHD cable (78180-60280) on a RHD FZJ80 — has anyone done it?

[lc80fzj]

I own a 1995 FZJ80 RHD with automatic transmission and am looking to replace the accelerator cable.

While researching OEM part numbers, I came across 78180-60280 being sold by CruiserParts as the LHD version. Their product description states that it will also work on RHD configurations, noting that the cable will be slightly longer and the clip positions will be offset from the original brackets, but that this will not affect functionality.

Has anyone with a RHD FZJ80 actually installed this LHD cable? If so, I would love to hear how you managed the extra cable length — specifically how you routed it to take up the slack cleanly.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are you and your 80 currently in Japan, what model FZJ80R-xxxxx do you have?

Example: a RHD FZJ80R-GNEPKQ appears to use Accelerator Cable Assy 78180-60290 which is (was?) discontinued
but may have been reborn by the Heritage parts program?? See website and screen grab below:

Does he have any information about using left-hand drive cables on right-hand drive vehicles?

I edited my initial reply while you were typing; did you see the link to NenGun above, it appears to be a live part (to fit a RHD FZJ80R)

The RHD Accelerator cable appears significantly shorter than the LHD part (it doesn't have to wrap around the front of the engine and curve back on itself like in the LHD model):

I have confirmed that the 60290 is being re-released by Toyota as a heritage part. Knowing this, I created this thread specifically to confirm how a left-hand drive accelerator cable is actually installed in a right-hand drive vehicle, and whether there are any problems as described in the CruiserNet product description.
