Got some new ACDelco park brake cables for the right and left rear. I'm not liking them. Has anyone used these new ones before?
They are not the same build quality of the originals. They didn't come with rubber washers. Not the exact same length either. I'm not sure they will fit well or most importantly work correctly.
I've got to start getting some of these off of salvage cars. Likely be able to get some low use ones off automatic cars. Most straight driver owner probably did cycle their park brake quite regularly. I always do, even in the automatics.
I'm only replacing them because the eyelet was broken on one of the 94's. You can see in the Brake End picture.
Right side is on top.

I'm not sure I want to keep these. I should have at least 1 set off the wagon,,, somewhere,,, maybe.
What are your opinions of these new cables?
