    Emergency Brake Cable, same on both sides?

    Hey guys, I went to drive to work this morning, and my passenger side rear disc was locked. Diagnosis leads to my cable is bad (this is my fault, putting in a questionable used cable to begin with).

    Are new cables the same on both sides? Here's a link to what I found on Amazon, is this right for both sides? Also, I'm rear disc converted.

    Thanks so much guys! I'm gonna not have an emergency brake for a couple days, yay.

    Probably not the best info to go off of but per my Helms manual the parking brake cables have the same routing and appear to be the same length in the visual. I can't imagine that they'd be different unless there was a specific left or right side fitting at the drum/caliper end of the cable or if they were routed differently.

      They are not the same on each side.

            That helps a ton, I just ordered new cables for both sides. Thanks Fleetwood!

              Because when i did my rear disc conversion I put the wrong one on the wrong side and it took me a while to figure out why things were not matching up for bolt holes and other things (mainly the ebrake attachment where the two bolts go through will be backwards too).

                Got it! I ordered new ones for both sides, I guess I'll see the difference then.
                Thanks Raf
