ok, hese is what happend:
I posted in a local NZ forum as well as doing some boxing day phone calls. then we went out for a touristy thing for the day that we had booked earlier. when I came back, there were two old but good clutch cables behind my windscreen and a note on the NZ forum. A local biker rode 300km out of his way to drop me the parts.
after some careful work with a borrowed hacksaw, I got 10 cm of the funnel off and fitted on of the cables to my honda (i think its a part for a 450 Kawaski).
It works! so good in fact that this will probalby get us through our trip and back home, or at least to the next dealer that may have spares.
I love bikers, and I love NZ for the fact that you can get an AA tow over 100 km of gravel roads out in the middle of nowhere.
