Brake Cable info

[jimainnj]

Looked at the cable while tie ennd the cable strands are coming apart where it comes out of sheild and it will not go in or out. I

know I need a replacement the question is where other than E-Bay are they

available, can the inner cable be replaced by it self. Of course I don't know how long they are. Information appriciated Jim

Just checked the parts book. It did not give the length of the cable. The cable and cable shield appear to be one piece in the book. The part number for the cable assembly is 953765. If it's not working at all, I would pull it and measure it. Then maybe take it to a good parts store to see if they can match one up for you. Otherwise you'll have to go to ebay or start calling all the old Mopar vendors to see if they have one.

Thanks Norm I'll pull it out, didn't see any on E-bay. I'd forget it but as long as my wife know, she will keep reminding me. I very seldom put any emerg. on.

I'm the same way Jim. I never use the emergency brake in our modern cars, or the coupe. The modern cars I just put the car in Park. In the coupe I use put it in Low or Reverse, depending on the if going down or up hill. My ebrake on the coupe works, but just don't use it.

Ed,

Jim has a 47 Plymouth.
