Parking Brake Cables

[90whiteSHO]

Okay I bought a 1990 SHO as my first car in august of 2011. When I bought it i was aware of the parking brake being messed up, but I was to excited about the car to get under it and check and the car was on a hill so it wouldnt have been a good idea. So I brought the car to a shop and had them look at it to fix it(new cables and a new realease) and he told me it had 4 cables.Does it have 4 cables or 3 because SHONUT only has 3 cables listed.BTW the cables were cut because the release broke.:thankyou:

There are just three cables. I bought all of them for under $50 last fall from Rockauto. Not a bad job for your first (and not last) DYI repair.

I need to get a list of exactly what cables i need for the Gen 1 E-brake also. Previous owner cut the rusted cable off from the handle so there is nothing to even look at to install new ones. Could use some help!

There is a front cable that runs from the dash out to the area under the drivers side rear door. There you have a special connector that joins left and right rear cables to this front cable. The passenger side rear cable is very long. When they are new, everything works well.
Even if all the cables were there, you would be replacing them.

I have had a lot of problems with the cables as well. The set on my car now were new in 2006, and now need replaced again.
