datzenmike Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 They can be custom made or maybe cut and splice together shorter with these cable clamps... Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 It's possible the dealer can still get them. I used the clamps that Mike showed on the NL. Two of them. I took a pair of HB e-brake cables, stripped the plastic liner off(PITA!), the put them in the stock outer. They were way too long, so I over lapped them, looped the excess back so there was actually 4 thicknesses of cable in the clamps. Cranked them down and then cut off the excess with a cutoff wheel. They never did slip. Kinda funny cause I was just looking to see if I had pics of it since someone just asked me the other day if I had any suggestions. I didn't remember answering and now I can't seem to find the pm/email. Oh well.....maybe they'll see this post :) Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 320, 520, and 521 rear E-brake cables are all the same, don't know about the early 620 with drum brakes, never looked under one. Hey Mike, last time I was at the gresham nissan dealer(6-7 years ago) they could get only one side, the short one. Fact is if you see a 320/520/521 being parted out guys/ratsuners, you need to get the rear cables if they are good, I know it's a hassle, but it's a bigger hassle finding a replacement when you need it.

moparvwfreak Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 dont feel bad man, i am missing one on my 73. ebay is teh only place i have found them but the shipping is a killer as only one guy had them for the older ones like mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DATSUN-620-UTE-SWB-72-79-Hand-Brake-Cable-Set-NEW-/310347675166?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item484229b61e here is a set of rear cables. for fairly cheap. shipping is still not real cheap but if i had the extra $$ right now i would have these on the way now.

mklotz70 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 you can get those clamps at home depot. Should be somewhere in the same aisle as the rope and cable. Quote Link to comment
