Just to follow up on my own post, I did get this to work, I had to add the
route for the subnet into the router instead of the linux machine itself.
The actual iptables command that used was:

Iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to
1.1.1.2-1.1.1.63

And added the route

1.1.1.2/26 gw 1.1.1.65

Into the cisco router.
