SE Parking Brake Cables

I'm looking for SE parking brake cables. I've only found them on blackdragon and rockauto has everything else but disc brakes. Not sure why but anyone know something i don't? I'm just trying to be cheap and 30$ a pop sucks when i already paid for the forward cable.

The right hand cable used to be twice the price it is now, feel lucky.

Made???

Heck, just go to your corner mom and pop auto parts store and get them next day!

That's what I did, for my cables, ignition parts, brakes, tune up stuff, etc etc,...

Just because they don't have a web sight showing inventory and price doesn't mean the parts don't exist anymore.

yup. But park brake cables can be made very inexpensively. Any specialty pieces can be added to the cable before the ends are crimped on.

amazing how that works

When I changed my steering box I was having a hell of a time freeing the pitman arm. I heated it, tapped on both sides with hammers at the same time, and it slid free as though it were greased.
