Fuel Shut Off cable

[Tricky]

My "Kill the Fuel" handle was left pulled out and being that it was placed in a terrible spot has become bent. The cable still slides nicely, but the solid bar that slides in/out makes it hard to shut off (and push back in).
Question: Can the handle be removed from the cable and replaced, or does the entire cable need replacing?
Follow up Question: Where is the best place to buy from in the Western US?

Thanks!!

Replace, it will be a bad-day when your fuel-kill cable breaks off in your hand. Although you should have a secondary cable near the engine. I would start with McMaster-Carr. You need to know the dimensions and range of motion.

I just purchased a Teleflex version, 10 ft long. Need 9' for my O'Day 28 Comes with both round and T handle so you can choose. About $70.
