13/60 Choke knob wouldn't sit vertical like all the others

[A TR7 16V]

I've been pulling what little is left of my hair out trying to get the choke knob to sit vertical like the others. But, I think because of the kinks in both the inner and outer, it just wouldn't.

Anyway a nice bloke included an old herald choke cable he had with a Mk2 Cortina 1600e Kienzle clock he sold me as a fixerupper. And I see from that, the inner shouldn't turn in the bit fixed to the dash at all. 

So later today I'm off to see if it's just the inner of mine that's bust, and I can swap that easily.
