Question s2 gearbox speedo cable

Hi iv had a problem with my Speedo not reading anything (intermittent at first) i have tried eliminating problem. have checked dial is working (turning top half of cable to move dial all ok) a garage has checked bottom connection for me, looks to be connected with plastic cog intact aside from an issue inside gearbox i only have 1 option I can think of and tats replacing the lower Speedo cable but.. I can’t find one in stock anywhere tried usual ebay, google, matt louise motorsports, local parts dealer, even ford all which Say we will call you back (never do).although I have one on order from ford for the past 2 weeks now it could take up to 8 weeks? Any help or advice on the problem or acquiring new or replacement OEM part welcomed, thanks for your time
