Emergency brake cables

Where did you find the emergency brake cables? I looked on Rock Auto for the recommended Honda Acura Legend 1987 that is in the parts list from apexanimal. I assume this was where you got your info?

A better alternative exists now. You can use a FastBrakes parking brake cable adapters and use your factory cables. Not sure if they are listed on their Site. May need to call or email them.

Well the parts I found where on amazon. Raybestos BC94043 and BC94044 professional grade parking brake cable. The same car is what is called out for the disc mod and much cheaper. Also the brake lines should be the same from this car for the Fit. The front calipers are the same from the 1987 Acura Legend 2 door base model as the 1997 so that being said it makes sense that the cables and hoses will be the same.
