Is it possible to fit the old choke cable to a new weber carb or do I need to fit the new choke button and cable that comes with the weber carb in a new location ie through the bulkhead somewhere? Thanks

The Weber carb generally needs a slightly longer choke cable. You may be able to get the original to reach, but I never found it satisfactory.

Thanks. Should i not be so fickle and just fit the shorter weber choke through the bulkhead or is it possible to get a longer cable to fit to the original choke control near the ignition?

It is possible to do. I have done it on my 1979 series 3. Trouble is I don't remember exactly how I did it.
I don't recall it being too difficult though.
