Default OEM or Aftermarket accelerator cable?

95 Cherokee Sport.

So I called the local Jeep dealership and they want $200 + shipping for an OEM cable (lol ripoff). Online an OEM is $86 and some change. Aftermarket is like $25.

Question is, does anyone know of a reliable aftermarket company to get a cable from or should I just pay the extra $60 and get the Mopar cable?

Rather not risk it considering how brittle the plastic gets on these. Mine broke just by bumping it so I'm getting something new.

if you are worried about being brittle from a junk yard just make your own or fork over the dough for a Mopar one

That's the answer I was lookin for. Definitely don't want to risk it if the aftermarket ones are junk.

I think this is the part number 52079382. Been looking around Mopar websites and $86 + shipping is the cheapest I can find.
