[s-cars] ebrake cable brands?

[John Cody Forbes]

I'm late to this, but wanted to throw in a couple of pennies. I'm working on 
some product that has involved having custom parking brake cables made. 
controlcables.com made me some parking brake cables from my measurements in 
2 days for $40ea. Quality is really good. Best scenario would be if you had 
a parts car or were just willing to take your bad cables off and send them 
to these guys, then they'd return you a brand new set.

Ha, I just ordered those Gemo's from FCP as well.  $50 with free (slow) 
shipping isn't half bad.
I just did rear calipers/carriers/pads/rotors, I should have ordered the 
cables at the same time.  Not sure I want to tackle that on jack stands, 
however, may just have a shop do it...
