Well it looks like I am down to the nitty gritty on my Mopar project. 8.25 with Jeep Grand Cherokee rear disks. I think I have about 150 bucks into it so far so it seems to be a decent Grassroots swap... but I am looking to make everything work so I need emergency brake cables. I think for about 150 I should be able to get exactly what I want. Has anybody had custom ones made? If so where?, I am looking at http://www.bruinbrakecables.com/ I think I know what to measure for them.

Any comments or advice will be appreciated!

Try a local boating shop. They can usually make control cables.

If no boating shop near you try a truck shop. Places that do dump and utility body installations. You might need to take the Jeep cables with you so they can match up the ends.

There's a lot more stress on a brake cable than on most control cables. We had a lot of trouble getting good quality cables for one of our kits. In the end, we eventually repurposed a cable from another car.
