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.
