[s-cars] ebrake cable brands?

[Tom Green]

The big issue with the cable replacement is attaching them to the  
ebrake lever.  This could require dropping the exhaust and drive  
shaft.  Depending on the rust on them, you probably need some new  
clips for them also.

You might obtain similar service from these aftermarket cables by  
lubricating them yearly.  It may not be a chinese factory, but I doubt  
any of those other sellers manufacture the cables, Beck Arnley is the  
Sears of european parts.  They may inspect some items, but they  
repackage and sell parts from the manufacturers you are familiar  
with.  I would not expect those suppliers known for supplying parts  
for Detroit autos to be making their own either, unless there is a  
Chrysler (or other) auto that uses a part with the same (or close)  
specs.  Starter motors or accessory belts come to mind, but there are  
others.  They either suscribe to a crossover publication or just buy  
and repackage other brands.
