I remember a post on here where some vendors weren't selling items the correct length, etc. Can you guys let me know who sells the most accurate looking and correct fitting items?

Thanks,

EW

We are a distributor for Fine Lines. They have parking brake cable kits. I've sold several with no complaints. I'm sure the guys on the board here can give more info about how accurate they are or are not.

You can call Fine Lines direct or give us a call for a quote. We'd be glad to help.

My originals looked like hell so I zip-tied them in a loop and tossed them in a plastic bucket filled with about an inch of Evaporust. I took them out a day later and they looked like new.

Neil, Curious...did you coat them with something when you were done to keep them from rusting again?

But I dug up an old thread with the info I hope I need , hopefully they make these cables for lowly A bodies .

John, have you not heard of the latest advancement in communications technology? It's called a telephone.

Fine Lines has one of the worst websites going and a non-working search engine.

I wiped them down realy good with ppg dx metal conditioner so surface rust won't grow on them while they sit on the shelf. I'm thinking that maybe wiping them down with a light coat of motor oil or something like once they are installed might help keep them from getting rusty. I guess you could lightly paint them too.

That wet graphite spray seems to work good at protecting raw metal as well.

Eric that was sorted out. The issue was with the 71 and up style. I sent my original in for them to duplicate and they are now the correct length.
