SEARCHED FROM HI TO LOW FOR EBRAKE CABLES TO FIT A 1954 3800 WITH DUAL REAR WHEELS & 14" DRUM BRAKES. SEVERAL PLACES SAID THEY DID NOT LIST THEM BUT HAD THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO MAKE THEM UP. ANYWAY, I WENT AHEAD AND SEND THEM A COUPLE OF OLD SAMPLES.
LONG STORY SHORT, THREE CABLE PAIRS I BOUGHT FROM DIFFERENT PLACES WERE CRAFTED PIECES OF SOUR CACA. CABLE PAIRS FROM THE SAME COMPANY DID NOT EVEN MATCH ONE ANOTHER. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS HAD TO DO WITH THE OVERALL CABLE LENGTH, ARMOR CONSTRUCTION, ARMOR DIAMETER AND WORK QUALITY. GOT MY MONEY BACK EACH TIME AFTER MANY EMAILS & PHOTOS OF DEFECTS.
AFTER THREE YEARS, I FINALLY ENDED UP FINDING A PAIR OF NOS CABLES ON EBAY. THE CABLES WERE INSTALLED AND FIT LIKE THE BALLS IN A BRAND NEW BEARING. SIMULATED LOAD TESTING HAS BEEN COMPLETED. ALL IS GOOD.
HOPE YOU SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
