Reply to "e-brake Cables"

OK, looked up the old post and it looks like the person had a place make up cables with 1/8" (.125") cable.....

My original cable is 3mm or aprox .115" in diam.

New one I had made, the guy used .140" cable which is WAY too big. ( I hate it when guys don't listen to the customer!)

I thought Nate had found a source for 3mm cable...which would to me, be most ideal, even over 1/8" cable! I think that extra .010" would make it just that more stiff, and to go around that little pulley, the smaller the mo' better!

I believe that Wilkenson has the cable "ferels" or ends for the housing material. Housing material is semi generic....

It is just the lengths that need to be worked out, and the ends. If you have your old ends, they could be brazed to the new cable easy enuf. If you do not have new ends, then you would need to be certain that the new cable ends would fit the Girling ebrake clevis. Easy enuf.....

If someone out there can confirm these measurements, that would help us all!

Center-Center length of cable= 88"
Short cable housing= 29 15/16"
Long cable housing= 39 5/8"

Ferrel ends are not included in any measurements. They are the same as a Pantera ebrake part too.

More on this adventure later!!!
