Does anyone know of a source for the parking brake tubes that go through the rear firewall?

I ended up making mine. I ordered steel tubing from McMaster Carr. I used a torch to carefully bend the passenger side. It needs a gentle 90 degree. I think I made 2 attempts before I got it right. The Clevis on the end of the cable has to slide thru so the bend is critical. I flared the ends in the engine bay using a torch.
The tubing is Smooth-Bore Seamless Steel Tubing 15 mm OD, 1.5 mm Wall Thickness, 1 M Long. I couldn’t find a source so that’s what I had to do. |
