New detent or accelerator cable for tbi-tpi swap?

Do I need to buy a new detent cable?Or a new accelerator cable?Does the accelerator start at the pedal, and detent start at the throttle body?

For the record, it's a "throttle valve" cable, or TV cable, not "detent". May sound like a nit, but the function of the TV cable is much more critical in a TH700 than the detent or kick-down cable is on a TH350.

Yes, you need TPI-type cables. Where are you getting the TPI? Any chance of getting the cable from the same source?

Where in Germany?
