I'm looking for specs on the rear brake cables for a 1953 Hornet 4-dr. Specifically, does anyone know the correct length of these cables?

Thanks

    Thanks. I have the 49 diagram, which shows 6 wires. My relay has what appears to be a setup for a 4 wire plug, which looks like what I see on the diagram for 50-51. It would appear they used 6 wire in 48-49 and changed over in 50-51 to a 4 wire. Now, to find a new relay and plug.....

    I'm not sure why you're looking for the length of the cables (and unfortunately I can't help you with that information) but if you need a new brake cable, have you tried any of the vendors in the WTN? There is still a lot of NOS stuff and I've seen new cables for sale from time to time at Hudson flea markets, still in the box.

    Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know the length because there is a Hudson brake cable on e-bay that doesn't give the year or application but does give the length. The picture looks right. By the way, what is WTN? I searched the web but didn't find any appropriate matches.
