WTB: Front e-brake cable

VoodooBear · Jan 17, 2012

My front e-brake cable's snapped... If you got one, let me know.

It's for a '98 GT, in case there's a difference.

Shipping to 00926!

I think it's only $20 bucks from ford

I have not confirmed this, but i've heard there's three cables and theyre around $50 each, so you should figure out which one's snapped

There is 1 short one that connects to the handle then down to the other 2.
It has to go through the floor and around a fairly tight curve to connect under the car.
The movement of the handle over time will weeken the shorter cable.
Then one day when you pull the handle, POP. and hopefully the car is in gear on flat fround.

Yeah, it's the short front cable that's snapped.

I can't find it anywhere by itself. What I've found is the cable, with the equalizer and the rubber boot and it ranges from $60 to $80... Even on eBay... Which is pretty absurd for a little piece of metal cable... The two rear ones are way thicker and longer and even the pair is cheaper...

But if you can point me in the right direction where I can find just the cable for $20 I'd appreciate it.

I replaced mine about 3 years ago. i'll ck around.You might be able to change it out without dropping the DS by putting the car on jack stands and letting the rear end hang down unsupported.
