41 60S Emergency brake cable parts source?

[Paul Phillips]

Working today on the restoration options for the rear section of the e-brake system. The stranded wire cable is in good shape, but the armored housing section on one side is crimped and tends to bind the cable. I can replace the ferrules on the ends easy enough, but am stuck on a source for this housing.  The stranded cable is 0.125" diameter, so probably need a housing about 0.140" ID.  The OD needs to be 0.500".  Each section is slightly over 28".

Any ideas on a source for this housing material?  I have been quoted $200 by one vendor to rebuild mine, which seems a bit much.

Thanks for your wisdom!

Hi Paul: Sorry I can`t help you with parts to restore your cable BUT give George Martin a call at 717-273-9502. He has been a brake cable vendor for years at Hershey He makes brake cables correctly for most cars and did my 47. Nice workmenship and looks exactly like original. Maybe he would sell you just the parts you need or even make a new cable for you. I would think that most new cables are going to cost $150-200.    Bill

Talked to George Martin, he was very helpful and had original type materials for a reasonable price.  Thanks Bill for the great help on this.
