Emergency brake cables

**SFC ROCK** · 01-09-2006, 06:42 PM

I'am restoring a 1963 riviera. I have been looking for the emergecy brake cables that run from the focrum lever that crosses thru the frame at the front of the X-frame to the back brakes on both sides.Kanter offers then for about $100.00 with shipping.Was wondering if anyone know of any other places the offer this item. Thanks

Hey Rocky

Happy to help out. Just let me know which Vendor/Supplier you purchased from for future reference.

Cars is o.k. for some stuff. I myself have never done business with them but I have heard both good and bad experiences. One source said that cars interpretation of NOS is Nasty (Neglected OLD $#!T) Their price from what little I've seen is a bit rich for my blood. There are usually OTHER options.

That '63 Riv of Yours is a True Classic!

Keep US informed on your progress.

Regards, and happy hunting

Hey Rocky!

How Use Doin'

Who were you able to get the cable from?

Where you able to save some $money$ compaired to the price CARS quoted you?

Your engine color is supposed to be Buick Green!

You can get the appropriate engine color from either POR-15 or from Bill Hirsch www.hirschauto.com who is the only vendor I'm aware of that sells the product in both quart or aerosol spray cans.
