Smile tach cable help

I found a company that makes custom speedo/tach cables but I need some help.
Can anyone answer these questions so I can get my tach working? thanks 1)

Determine Diameter
Most Automotive and Light Trucks
use .130” Cable and .330” Casing

2) Determine Nut Size
Most Common are 5/8” and 7/8”

3) Determine Tangs/Tips*
.104”Sq, .124”Sq, .156”Rnd,
.187”Rnd, or .203”Rnd

My question would be why would you need a custom one in the first place? can't you just get a used one from someone here on the board?

Yes, I could, but I haven't seen one and I thought they were kinda hard too find. thats why I was going to just have one made. If anyone has one I'd defiantly like to buy it off you.
