Thanks but you assume that this is for a modern bike with a hydraulic brake line which is not the case. I'm working on a 1969 british vintage and that still uses a good old steel break cable similar to a bicycle break cable just a bit stronger.

To help visualize here is what I need - but a custom length:

Some people suggested that perhaps a custom bicycle shop or aviation supply business might have this capability.

thanks

Yes, Thornhill north of 401.

I have an old piece that is not the right length. Ideally if I could find a nearby business then I could show them the original piece and they would just replicate it.

I would try Walridge motors in London Ontario for your BRAKE cable. They specialise in this stuff

It's me that should apologize for assuming... But it's still BRAKE not BREAK

+1 for Waldridge. They have cables + kits/parts to build cables. The kits are very inexpensive

Motion Pro will also make custom ones for you - very good quality

here's a youtube video on how to make your own custom cables. The chopper folk have been doing it for eons.

I don't know any shops that will make a cable for you... I make my own.
If you are going to make it yourself; Winner's Circle sell Barnett parts to make cables... and last time I was there they had sheathed cable, 60" long, perfect for a british brake cable: $7.

I could make you one... but it won't be CHEAP.

I stand corrected and accept full responsibility for my blasphemous spelling mistakes.

Bingo !!!!

I think they carry everything I need to make my own BRAKE CABLE and they are just 10 minutes away from me.

Thanks for the info.
