I want to move the bonnet opener out of the glovebox and to a bracket accessible from the front underside. It'd be better if the cable was 2ft shorter so just wondering where I can get custom lengths of this stuff from?

What is the proper name for this type of cable too?

ebay etc
look for hq - wb or similar year falcon shit
they are cheap

You could chop up an old mechanical brake cable off a bike, no?

^^^ Ahh, true. I'll hit up a bike shop through the week

theres different grades of bike cable too - with different coatings inside the plastic housing - its well worth investing in good quality as they never jam up.

For sure - after my bonnet flinging up at 100k's I won't skimp on quality

I'll see what grades they got available, hopefully something that can also handle the heat of the radiator.

I need one with an outer section ~70cm long, give or take a centimetre or two.

thats what im running on my bike - because theyre pre-stretched and have the teflon in the housing, theyre super smooth and once adjusted the first time don't need to be touched again.

thats why I said HQ type, you can cut them down fairly easily
