Default Need help with parking brake/emergency brake

All my cables are froze and my assembly part broke so is there any way I can rig up my own or a place to buy upgraded ones instead of new stock ones?? It's about $220 total for the two rear cables and the main assembly.

ouch I think mine broke a while back the previous owner must have shortened the cable because my ebrake handle will only pull up 2 clicks and it super tight dunno if it really even working car hasnt rolled away yet so Im assuming it works. sux to dump money into something that makes a mustang sit still it must be telling it wants to go faster.

If you could get me a pic of yours that would be cool but it broke under the car at the line coming from inside the car.

I like my car too much to gamble like that. Sure it sucks to spend that much money on something that doesn't really provide enjoyment.. but how bad are you going to feel if your car rolls away and is damaged some day? small price to pay for peace of mind, personal opinion.
