Default Source for 42-48 Emergency brake cable

I read some old threads that the reproduction cables have the wrong springs. Is anyone selling the correct cable now?
Thank you

Thank you
If you are referring to the rear cable, the springs are correct in appearance. The issue? The springs are too long. Easy enough to cut them off to the proper length.

The rear cable is the right length for my 32 hydraulic brake conversion. I think all models are the same.
Thanks

All models are certainly not the same. There are different lengths.

Only one length for 42 - 48. That is correct.

The cables are not all the same. If you are using it on a 32 you would probably need a cable from a '40.

'40 is too long. You need one from '42-'48. I just did an AV8 on a '32 chassis so I know this to be correct.

I believe I still have the new, aftermarket '40 cable in my stash if anyone can use it.
