Finally, it's time to wrap-up this parking brake cable problem that I encountered last May..... If you followed this thread, you know that the '47 cables that BDammers47 and I needed are a bit different than the cables offered by the vendors. While the overall length of the standard steel cables is comparable, the cable housing length is about 2 1/2" shorter than required.
I had
Madison Power Systems make the
parking brake cables that I needed to complete the job. The cable housings have sealed ends to keep moisture out and the steel cables are coated to slow down the corrosion problem that ultimately cause these cables to rust and lock-up. The cables were $69.95 each, plus shipping. I've got these cables installed and the parking brake working like new!
My special thanks to BDammers47 for his support on my quest for parking brake cables. The information that he provided proved to be invaluable to my solution.
If you need a custom parking brake cable, contact Shaun Llewellyn of Madison Power Systems, I'm sure glad I did
!!
