Reply to "e-brake Cables"

mangustaMember

All,

I have located 3mm cable for the ebrakes, and also smaller cable for the hatches.

The sheathing is readily available in various types, nylon lined and unlined.

The sheath ends or ferrels are available from Wilkenson if you need to stay with the brass ones.

However, it is the pesky eyelets on the ends of the cables that is the problem!!!! I cannot find small eyelets....they are all for 3/16" cable and not 1/8". (1/8" is very close to 3mm.)

I have scoured the wire and cable websites, and local push-pull cable makes to no avail!

Now, I also wonder, after seeing Denis' picture of 1244, what the rest of the earlier cars connection to the brake mechanism looks like. That is way different than my car, and even different from Panteras.

I fear, with later cars, that too many changes have been made, to use them as examples to make judgments for earlier cars!!!
