Post subject:  Drum brake self adjust cable failure

Hey...you know that flimsy cable....right?? With the eyelet on one end and the hook on the other. Found in the drum brakes on my 63 Valiant. Well it snapped and made a messy noise and terrible stopping. Does anyone make replacements for these? or are they a Boneyard only item??
Thanks.....G.

Last I checked, you could still buy these new.
If it is a 9 inch set-up, drop me a PM (to Doctor Dodge) with your address and I will mail you a couple of used ones.

Hey DD,

Thanks I found them. Napa stocks them. Just in case anyone is interested, these little buggers are Mopar part #2266273 and Napa Part #80750. If they're old, replace 'em and avoid the havoc that has been wreaked on my brake system.

87 dakota 9in. rear spring kit might come with cable. I know the springs fit my 63 dart rear brakes, I used them on info. gained from /6 club magazine. Wealth of info. in there,sorry to see it go.

Might I suggest they be replaced every-other brake job, cheap insurance as they do have a tendency to fray at the furrel....Dave
