Hi,

Does anyone have a source for the 2 rear cables?

Thanks,

There are brackets on the rear brake cables that attach to the frame. Other than that I don't believe there any additional hangers or clamps.

I got mine from USA Parts 304-724-6600.  They are very similar to the 1970 Cadillac.  Plus the original cables can be rebuilt if needed.

I used these in my '65 Eldo.  They were great.   Probably best price too:

Thanks,

Also, is the cable somehow tethered to the frame, or does it just run from front to back without any type of "hanger(s)?

There is a fat spring behind the front wheel or thereabouts.

Chuck, that looks like a great set of cables. Less than half what I paid for mine. Archie, I would go with Chuck's recommendation.

I saved my old jammed up stuck cables from my Sedan de Ville & sent them to Inline Tube to get a quote for reproducing them -- a service they offer but you have to send them a set of originals first. If the price is right I will have a set made up for my Eldorado.
