Default NEED b16 clutch cable HELP ASAP

O.K. I just finished my B16 swap yesterday night and finally I goto put my clutch cable on and guess what.... too short. I looked at my old ZC bracket for it and it's completely different. I called a friend up and he said sometimes you have to change it to a 90' integra. The cable on my car is off a 91' Civic HB Dx. But all the swap sites I goto say nothing about the cable possibling too short and having to change it. HERE'S THE THING IS IT BECAUSE IT'S A CABLE FOR A DX AND NOT A SI THAT IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT ( i PUT THIS IN CAPS SO YOU UNDERSTAN ), I tried bending the bracket and ended up cracking the bracket slightly and had to re-weld it so no luck there. ALso I"m running a 4 puck clutch so the release arm is not giving me any slack. IT's only like a 1/2" too short. I've tried everything and I know I'm trying to put it on right.
So what do I have to do ? Buy a cable for a teg. cause if so I"m screwed since it's a dealer only item and most likely they won't have one in stock I take it.Did anyone else when putting a B16 into a Dx HB have this same problem. What did you do ? I'm trying not to go and have to buy a new cable since money and this SUCKS cause all I need to be able to drive my car is the right clutch cable. OR AM I doing something wrong here I looked at my honda manual and I know I'm putting the cable on right and it's threaded on as far as it will go out still only about 1/2 - 1 " I need to make it long enough. ALSO if I can't find a integra one is one off another car long enough I.E. off a old accord or some other hand thats uses my style clutch cable. Thanks

a junkyard teg will have the cable

what about some creative routing?

also check down near the pedal. There might be more slack there.

If not. Make a post here in the classifieds. Im sure some1 will have a cable that fits.
