They where made up to length Ben.
Theirs a few companies out there that can make up gear cables and handbrake cables etc if you do have an incorrect size.

Sorry Ben, I don't know the sizes.
Try Speedy Cables.

I have a complete set for VTEC. It was swapped by another set by ZCars during the build of my diesel ZCars (I needed a longer set for the TDI engine).

 

I can send them over to the UK if you take care of postage charges...

Hi I think I have sorted it now is there any chance you could measure your cables to see if I have brought the right ones I now have 2 at 2280mm and how much would you want for your cables it may be worth buying them off you as spares for my car

Ben
Been very busy last couple of weeks
Just seen this
The rack in z cars stores has 2280 mm and 2260 mm written on where the v tec cables were hung
From memory they were two different lengths
If that helps
I can get new ones done if needs be if you end up stuck from where we used to get them from

Reverse is past fifth and sixth yes
I used to make a blanking plate to slip under the selector on top of the gearbox so you couldn't accidentally get first and second when really pedalling the car hard
Coming down from fifth and getting second instead of fourth gets exciting
