parking brake cable

[flyinlow]

I have replaced both rear cables on a 70 Charger, however the front cable is not as free as it needs to be. Anyone know where to get a new one?

Dave @ Roseville Chrysler in Michigan would be my first call

Inline Tube

Inline Tube

From what I understand, Inline Tube (unfortunately) is the only company who is actually producing accurate reproductions of these cables. Nice cables, just don't like dealing with Inline Tube.

I just hope that their cables are better than their repro hold off / proportioning valves!!!!!!!   Damn valve cost me more money in redoing my rear brakes, seals, and other rear axle crap than I ever had to deal with before.  Even with them telling me that it wasn't their problem, they never had any complaints (which I know for a fact others have complained), and that they sent it back to me saying it was tested ok and did the same thing on my car.  Funny how a rebuilt original one works fine and their "ok" one acts like a one way valve.

I had problems with both the valve and cable; had to get them to give me a new valve (first one didn't send fluid to rear lines) and I had to send the parking brake cable back to have the end crimped back on because it failed the first time I used the parking brake. That said they DID make it right, but I was still out the time and hassle.

There is more info and another vendor option listed in this thread, George's Brake Cables. Maybe try him instead of Inline? I would!

Thats funny, yours wouldn't send fluid to the rear brakes while mine wouldn't let it back up to the master  cyl.      At least you didn't burn up your back brakes and warp your drums!!

Isn't that the truth! I guess given the choice I'd rather have had my problem than yours  From what I've read on this forum alone I'd say these Inline reproduction blocks have a 50% or greater fail rate right out of the box! Yet they've had no other complaints

Thanks ,   my Car Quest part guru thinks he found one in ILL. Be here next week.

Did you try squirting some lube down the cable housing?

[flyinlow]

Tried PB Blaster/wd40.  Got it moving,but not free enough. Thought about removing and soaking. Was thinking kerosine/ ATF mix.

I've done both, coiled the cable and threw it in my solvent tank for a couple of days then blew dry and squirted in some LPS lube.
