Default Cabriolet Top Drive Cable

Apologies in advance if this has already been answered at some point. I've used the Rennlist Advanced Search without success and I haven't been able to find the cable part numbers in my copy of the OE catalog.

I need both left and right drive cables (the cables that go from the motors to the left and right top transmissions) All my usual parts sources came up empty.

Does anyone have one or both cables in good shape for sale?
Can anyone provide the Porsche part number(s) for the cables?

​​​Many thanks for your help.

OP,

As you may have realised by now, that is why most people leave the top in manual mode....

Thanks for trying...!

Yep, I knew that going in! I really would like to get the top operational again even though I'll likely continue to operate the top manually.

Cheers...!

Yeah, I'm a coupe owner. I looked at a convertable before my purchase. The bows had broken and were poorly welded back together. Never found out if the top even worked.
