Hi Rogan, standard 4mm gear outers and 1.2mm inner cable, and 5mm brake outers and 1.6mm or 2mm inner cables.

Certainly that's what fits my '91 stuff.

I think you are after the accushift cables for gearing. I used to have a load of nos when I was doing an xc pro pace build but it's all gone now. I can't remember what the brake cable was called if indeed it was anything specific.
