'79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.
Looking for new parking brake cables. Local store can get the rear left and that's it. RockAuto has the rear left and right.

I'm looking for any recommendations for cables that are not Omix or Crown, and any tips that would help with swapping them out.

Thanks
 
Omix and Crown are nothing but junk. Your best bet is to hit the local upullit and adapt with ingenuity. Good luck.
 
Have you tried NAPA. I found them on NAPA online.

I checked Napa and they have both the rear cables so I'll be ordering from them and I think I'm going to have to do that one thing we all hate and order from Omix to get the one front cable, but I'm going to try to save the original hoping it just needs to be cleaned and lubed.

Who knows, cables are a pretty simple part, maybe the Chinee have figured out how to make them pretty well.
 
Got the left and front from Omix. Right Rough Country and neither are quite right. Have it adjusted almost all the way already and the brake still won’t hold on a slope.

Check with Inline Tube (Michigan Company). They fabricated a custom parking brake cable (pedal to adjuster) for me, as I need one slightly longer than OEM.
