I'v been looking for a new emergency brake cable that goes from the brake cans to the connection on transmission support. I'v talked with Jerry's and concourse parts and they say they can't get them, and have also looked else where with no luck. I do have a decent set on a parts car, but with everything else new thought I'd get new ones of these also. Where have any of you been getting yours if you needed them. take care, stay safe, Alvin

Have you tried "restoring" your original cables? I just did mine last week, they were sticky, and looked like crap, but after cleaning the outside sheathing on my bench grinder using a wire wheel, they look like new again. I also buffed the cables, and after spraying brake clean down thru the sheathing, and lubing the cables, they move nice and free again. The nice thing is that the sheathing is not really long, so it`s easy to pull the cables out far enough to buff the entire cable length to clean off any built up gunk.
Control Cables, that John Palmer mentioned, is where Bob Lee (where's he been??) sent me for my e-brake cables, but ours were for t-bird disc brakes, so our numbers/lengths wouldn't do you any good. Excellent product, very fast delivery.
Make sure you tell him it's for a long wheelbase Fairlane, not just "57 Ford", he probably has the oem info on file.
Thanks guys, appreciate your help. take care, stay safe, Alvin
