Has any one used Napa to buy E-Brake cables? if you have what do you think of them?

I have used several and never any issues, even been to the plant were they are made and yes it's in the US. Plant is about 40 miles northwest of Chicago.

I work at NAPA and I have never had a customer return an E-brake cable. I just sold some for a 71 the other day and I'm sure I will buy some when my 70 is ready. I recommend them. I used to think NAPA was just overpriced until I started working there. The quality and availibility of parts is much better there.

We deal with NAPA, Carquest, Checkers, and Parts Plus. NAPA is the best to deal with of the bunch. I would probably rate Checkers as the lowest quality parts, but that's just me.

I bought them for my '72 LWB leaf spring truck. They were slightly shorter than the originals and don't have the protective metal spriral wrap, but so far I'm happy with them.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I figure they will run the same price as getting them from car and truck or a few other places. I also wanted to know if there is a shipping cost due to they have to be ordered?

I paid a small shipping cost on mine (they were shipped to the store).
