You might luck out and just be able to stuff that thing right back in.
Like THAT would ever happen! Indeed, you may find that it is necessary to
undo anything that holds the outer cable to anything else, pull it free
and hold it as straight or nearly straight as possible, then (perhaps with
some sort of grease or other lubricant) rethread the inner cable and knob
assembly, THEN route everything back to where it goes and reconnect it.
Not that I've ever had to do such a thing on MY 1975 Spitfire. (Truth: it
was a friend's 1972 Spitfire that he and I upgraded to a nice wood dash
from a 1973!)
