The parking brake cable on my 914 is almost gone. Half of it has frayed off right behind the brake handle.
I talked to my mechanic and he said that the places he normally orders parts from don't have any and he will likely have to order from Porsche in Germany. He couldn't give me a price but he said the last one he bought went for about $90 (~70 USD). I can't imagine why a simple steel cable should cost this much. Does anyone know of any alternatives? I was thinking that maybe a different type of cable would work as long as it is similar in size and strength. Or maybe someone here has some that he/she could sell to me? What should I do? I'd hate to pay $90 for a cable. Thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) David |
