I have a 99 SVT, I need new parking brake cables. I was going to ask if the auto parts stores cable were any good, but after some searching it looks like that is a no. I know Ford had a brake cable kit at one time. I am wondering if this is still avalible and if anyone has any part numbers?
Thank you!

Most of the auto parts cables I have ever used end up failing early because they have no rubber cover over the ends of the cables at the calipers.
Ford has discontinued them last time I checked - But the part# for the cable is F6RZ-2A635-AA . Order 2 for both sides (the cables are the same),

..and a tip from the old man!!.When you get the new correct cables(WITH a rubber boot at the caliper end!),slide back the boot and grease the uinner cable with some Sil-Glyde,slid it back and retain both ends with small zip ties.The object is to prevent any water entering the inner/outer cable...water kills these cables very fast..
