Defrost, temp Cables for the 53 manhattan
« on: February 11, 2013, 04:30:38 PM »
All my cables for the Defrost, Temp, Hood Release etc are really rusty and need replacing.  The cables themselves have the wire wrapped casing with a wire that simply moves inside however the ends are swedged or crimped with the knobs attached.  The old pot metal knobs are pretty ugly and pitted so re chroming may not be a good investment.  Anybody out there that re manufactures these old cables with new knobs.  I really don't care it it is OEM or not just want her to look nice.

Thanks again for everybody input.
