Parking Brake Cables

[jerrycad472]

Does anyone know who sells Parking brake Cables? I am switching to a manual trans, so I would like to ensure the e-brake is usable. My Rear Brake kit comes with new cables from the rear end, but I would like to replace the cable that runs from the Pedal to the back of the car. I tried 2 local discount auto parts stores last night and they said they can't get it. I will try a real parts store next week. I am wondering if there is a universal GM kit I could use.

Yes they do. And they install a lot easier than a universal kit. Kits aren't always worth the savings. This time it definitely holds true.

Thanks, I ended up finding a good parts store that ordered it for me. It is slightly longer from the frame mount up to the pedal, but I think it should work ok.

Did you replace the little Clip/bracket thing that contects the front cable to the rear cables? If so where did you find it? Mine is pretty well rusted together. I am guessing I can make something up.
