When I was trying to get my parking brake cables to hook up like the pic in the service manual, the center cable, which connects to the rear wheel brakes was about 4 inches too short.
I called Inline Tube Monday, and they looked for a cable that length without having to make a custom one, and it turned out to be a '64 to '67 A body length.
So two days (today) I received the new stainless cable, to finish the job. Good service in my opinion. I also bought the front brake lines for the master cylinder from them, stainless steel also.

When I originally bought the park brake cables ( don't remember where), there were numerous lengths listed by different vendors for my Elco, so I didn't really know what I needed, and just ordered what they listed, which was of course too short.
I think I'll get a new proportioning valve from them also, since I don't know if the original is any good.

I bought a bunch of brake stuff from them too. I got the master cyl and prop block off of ebay from MotorCity Muscle Car, but that might just be Inline Tube's ebay shop. The stuff came directly from Inline. I later bought parts to rebuild the rear brakes from them.

I used Inline Tube for the replacement of my brake lines and the proportioning valve.The fit and the delivery were great.I will use them again.

I used them for the same, but I wasn't so lucky. It turns out that the early 4th-gen used a boxed frame, and the later 4th-gen used a channel frame. The fuel and brake lines Inline had were for a channel frame, and had to be bent up a bit to fit in the boxed frame.

While their work is good, they don't have quite the inventory they claim ;)

I had a '73, but don't remember much about the frame. Is that the only year they did that?
Next time I talk to Inline Tube I'll ask if they know about this.
