Do you still have the old cable ?
If so you can send it to venhill in England to do a copy or buy the bits from them and make your own last resort for me .
Venhill web site has pre made cables to buy but only list xr80 ?
I looked on Partszilla not available.
have you googled the cable part number and see what pops up.
Motion pro do after market cables they have some on Ebay .

A new motion pro cable from an ebay seller is a good option. Always nice to have new cables and they're not too expensive usually

Motion pro dont list one for the 250 but list one for the 500 same year 82 just been on a few sites looks like the 500 cable is the same as the 250 how weird is that just in a rush only 2 weeks to Harrow  this is what happens when you buy another in this amount of time  i guess
