You will find some cable dimensions in the bikes parts lists.

There are dimensions of amal cables archived like the Sept 57 file, link above.

Whether standard cables will fit does depend (to state the perhaps obvious) on whether you have original design h/bar levers.
I carried a spare clutch cable for a couple of years taped to the one in use for 000's of miles around Europe and when I came to fit it back home in the shed, it didn't.

Oh yes, took a while but BeenyBoy had a pair, now polished and re-chromed
