How durable are the parking brake and heater flapper box cables? Do they essentially last forever if not frayed, or is this one of those not a question of IF but WHEN items given the age?
Ours don't seem frayed. Tempted to continue using since they are not catastrophic failure parts. But, the engine and suspension are out, so I have easy access now... |

Parking brake cabels get the plastic sheaths burned and can rust up inside and bind.
The original heater cabel was plastic coated and replacement is bare wire that shoul be greased. |
