I need a front brake cable for my 52. I have the flip over parking brake on my stick and need one with a 68" adjustment outer sleeve. The cycle shops in my area can't or won't make a new one for me. Any help would be appreciated.

There was a post a while back about brake cables. It touched off some discussion about buying from the suppliers vs. making your own. I assume 68" is standard. Here's the post:

I am about to produce a direct replacement brake cable for a Yak 52.
(the one that terminates at the forward control stick). The original
got pinched as it went through the floor. I can get a
break on price for qty of 12 or more.

Price is expected be $110 plus shipping. All components are AN hardware
and cable is SS.

Can you all help me with demand for an initial order? Reply to this
message or to my e-mail directly.

Thank you.

Hi John

The 68" is not so standard. Of the several Yaks in my area only 2 have the same cable as mine. Most of the Yaks I am told have a cable adjuster / housing of 5 inches less. The cable is the same length not the housing. I have decided to make a bracket to fit the short cable. I have been quoted 60 days until I can get one from the mother land that actually fits. The price I am not sure of. I really only need the cable. I was trying to find something in a hurry to be able to go to the Lamar Red Star get together. Not sure if there is much of a need for the "standard" cable as I had several of those offered to me by the local guys.
