Default EFI Throttle cable......

Have asked this before but what does everyone do when runnin an efi inlet on an erst throttle cable wise as the ends are totally different! I bought an efi throttle cable that fits the throttle body end as it should, but the pedal end is totally different to the one i had before. Can't find any cable with the right ends, gettin right on me nerves!! Surely someone must have an easy solution??? Was thinkin of fitting a fiesta rst pedal but not sure if it will fit???

Now this is interesting as i was helping another member the other day and he bought a cable which was allegedly an EFI 3i cable, but it had the wrong end.

I have a second hand one i'll have a look at in a bit that came off a EFI 3i, im sure the mk4's all had the same pedals.
