Parts for Evinrude Simplex Control Box

Does anyone know where I can find the plastic block-like cable terminations which are inside the Simplex control box?
Thank you,
J

Faztbullet,
Sorry to say we're crossin' each other.
This cable guide is for the 400 style, bare cable end. The cable end I have is type 479, with the flattened end with through-hole. This one's close, but not quite right. The one I need has a slotted hole for the flattened termination and a fat through hole with hex feature molded in one side to accept the nut for the screw.
Do you happen to know the part number for the type 479 cable guide?
Thanks,
J

I'm in the same boat. I purchased the OMC#0308034 and they are close but not right. I have been to some local boat shops and no one can help. I'm not sure if it will help since I am piecing things together but I have a 72 25hp johnson.

Were the original cable guides for the Simplex box broken or missing? I'm not sure that a type 470 and type 479 control box can be switched around...

The casting guides broke!
