Dolomite Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Both my rear cables are broken on my ‘71 510, searches turn up nothing available. Does anyone know where to get a set or something that can be adapted? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not the same part numbers but I bet the 610 (also has almost identical IRS) would work. 240/60/80z 280zx 810 Maxima are all very similar looking and all IRS. Longer will work, shorter won't. Just like a bicycle hand brake cable. Quote Link to comment
Robs Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I have some that I just removed, you are welcome to them if you want them..... Let me know. Quote Link to comment
Gery Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hello and thanks for looking. i need a new or even good used hand brake cable for my 620 kc. Not the twin cables that go to the brake, but the cable running from the brake handle to the equalizer. The equalizer fitting on the cable end is the critical feature I need to match up. Are there any other cable brands that will work with the equalizer? Or cable ends that I could have staged on another ebrake cable? Thanks Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Perhaps you could talk a good bicycle repair shop into fabricating a replacement cable for you ? Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 How about an actual cable shop? These guys do all of mine.. https://www.controlcables.com/ Quote Link to comment
Gery Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I tried a couple custom motorcycle shops....they just kept getting hung up on the idea that it wasn’t for a motorcycle. the cable shop (above) looks promising. If not, I am getting a better and better picture of how to make a workable cable myself. Mainly need the swaged end pieces ....and a sewage press($). Thanks! Quote Link to comment
BambooU Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I use bicycle and motorcycle cables for my throttle cable and my hood latch. The issue is you'd need some kind of housing along with it, and it needs to be long enough to wrap forward and then back by the transmission (almost 7 feet, i think?). You'd have better luck buying a parking cable or brake from another car and ripping the cable out and making it work for you. Quote Link to comment
