Hey fellow DSMers
I am looking for both Park brake cables for my 93 fwd.
rockauto, Mitsubishi, Amazon, Ebay... are not having anything. Not even aftermarket parts like Raybestos are available.

anyone has another idea where to get both sides - or one after another ;)

Thanks in advance

I got mine from Advance Auto in 2017. The only problem is that they were both the same length when the passengers side should be an inch or so shorter. I had to use a spacer at the end of the p/s cable (at the caliper) to correct this.
 
Careful with the rock auto cables. Last year I ordered both driver and passenger E-brake cables for my 1g AWD. The driver side was correct but the passenger side was for a totally different vehicle. I don’t know if it was mislabeled in the box or they just put the wrong cable in the box. But they did not have an alternate part number for it. I ended up having to get it locally from O’Reilly’s for twice the cost

The thing about RockAuto is that they're similar to the local parts store - they have different suppliers and the part you receive can sometimes change because of that. I haven't had any issues with that but I've seen others have it happen from time to time. So long as you're aware it can happen - realistically it could happen with any online retailer. The local stores give you the option of being able to see it before you buy, but they tend to be quite a bit more expensive a lot of the time.
 
Thanks for the answers.
Unfortunately it only appears that rockauto has them. The left cable is without the rubber boot at the caliper side end of the cable, no idea how this should last... the Right cable is not available. I ordered 4 times when it was marked available and got calls from Madison (Wi) apologizing for the failure in the stock numbers...
I will check Advance Auto - thanks for that hint.

Some1 has anymore suggestions?
