I can get you one at a salvage yard 50 miles away but it will take me until the weekend to get it. I'm going there to get a passenger door.

 

how much?

if it is easy to take off, my cost + shipping. I mean we are here to help each other aren't we?

 

yeah
lemme know, i dont want you to pull the part and me not be able to pay you

The only place I managed to find them were at the mazda dealership.... Insanely expensive, but in my mind worth it. My old one snapped, so you've gotta figure any car in a pick-a-part would have a cable in just as bad, or worse condition. I payed $70 Canadian... about $50 Yankee greenbacks, but for my car it's worth it. Especially since I have a standard and actually *use* it.

So it was only 50 bucks uds from mazda?

thats not that bad

-greg

is there any way to modify the drum break on to work?

 

Victoria Brittish also sells them...

 

damnit i cant find my VB catalog
can u check the price for me?

-greg

 

I don't know which ones you need. I think different years have different cables. I bought the front three for $30 at VB.

 

The latest VB catalog has the rear two cables for disc brakes listed as $59.95 for the left(part# 69-204), and $29.95 for the right(part# 69-203).

On another note: I just recently helped a friend with a GSL into GS rear-end swap, and the cables from the donor car were just fine. I wouldn't worry too much about getting a bad set out of a bone yard.
