...requested! I need this cable in new condition for my 1980 Merak 3.0 SS. It is featured in the spare parts catalogue on table 13. If anybody can help please contact me directly: [email protected] Many thanks. Ciao! Walter Image Unavailable, Please Login
Walter, Not sure if this is an option or not, but when my emergency brake cable on the Jalpa broke, I sent it to GT Car Parts down in Arizona. They pulled out the old cable and put a new one in (even used the old connectors where they could to keep it looking OEM).

Hi Mike, thanks for the info. But I thought that perhaps someone has this cable in -almost- new condition "layin`around".....! I think its too much effort to send the old cable to the US to get it repaired. I also contacted MIE and McGrath in the UK. We`ll see......! Ciao! Walter
Walter, Yes, I know that cable very well. I had to replace mine and I recall the adjustment process was very sensitive! You will most certainly be able to find the cable here: http://www.campanacarrozzeria.it/default1.asp Campana purchased all the old stock from Maserati's GT cars many years ago and they literally have almost anything you can think of available. The last time I called them they had a girl working there who spoke English but that was a couple years ago. I recommend either calling via someone who is fluent in Italian or emailing them your request. JS
Walter, When I did my Bora I had to redo the parking brake cables and I found the supplies locally either at a truck repair supplier (they use a lot of such cables) or at a shipyard. Sailing rigging has some of the same materials. So I ended up with new outer housings from the truck supply place and then the cable and end fittings were from a sail shop. They swedged (squeezed) the fittings on for me. It's all stainless steel now so no more rust issues! I'll bet that if you dig a little locally you can do this. You don't have to send stuff the the USA for this. Bob S.
