Parking Brake Cable

[Lunchbox]

Inline tube lists a Parking Brake cable kit that either comes with or without a intermediate cable for the same years.

1. Looking like a 70 does not use the intermediate cable?

2. Is there preference between OEM steel or stainless?

  Your link is for parking brake without intermediate cable. These are not interchangeable

From what I understand the '70 modes do not use the intermediate cable




71 & later do use intermediate cable

@Bullitt-  is correct. I just went through this. The 70 has the system in figure 1 above. The only way to switch to the intermediate system is to change your pedal assembly. The 70 pedal assembly will not work with the intermediate system because the cable that attaches to the pedal is different between the two. Also you can't just change the cables because the attachment area on the pedal assemblies is different.

Does Inline tube offer the non intermediate in stainless? I went with the OEM steel and am pleased with it.

Thanks for the replies, I would agree mine matches Figure 1. Kind of curious why inline labels it like that.

They do have a stainless kit for the 70 without intermediate cable.

Figure 1 is the same as I installed in my '70 from Inline Tubes; no intermediate cable. It went in well and pretty quickly, except for the grommet. I went with stainless, and as for the additional price it was small compared to how it will look for years to come (IMO).

70 is unique , the brackets on the frame rails are different also using the intermediate cable system .
 I agree why not use the stainless system ?

Maybe just curious, have heard over the years that the stainless brake lines are harder to seat than the OE steel and possibly trying to balance the material look.

That is true for the brake lines but this is just a cable

Was thinking about getting everything the same, that's what was kind of driving the question.
