Custom parking brake cable

jozi · 2012-02-26 22:10:03

Anyone know where to get a custom parking brake cable? I need on for my E30, standard lenght is fine but need a pair with the outer housing a little longer. Might have to chop the cable guides because of rust meaning I need a cable with a longer outer housing.

Not handbrake cables, but I've had several oddball/unavailable-off-the-shelf control cables for various farm and plant machines made up by these people:

They'd certainly be worth giving a shout.

Might be worth a try, will bell them tomorrow. Even if they could replace the outer housing with something longer I'd be good to go.

Further suggestions welcome

After trying 5-6 motor factors this morning, all useless! But the guys linked to above might be able to sort me out, just need to get down to them with the cable.
