corrosion protection brake cables
« on: March 06, 2006, 10:06:43 PM »

Took off my rear parking brake cables and cleaned them up.  Would like to spray the outside of them with a clear coat protection of some sort to keep looking good.  Anyone done this?  Question# 2  sprayed wd40 through the cables to clean and make sure they were free.  What would be good to lub them with?     Steve

i would dribble some tranny fluid down enough to flush the wd40 out even soak the whole thing a couple of hours then hang it to let the excess drip out

I was thinking about sliding heatshrink tubing over the whole cable. Oil it up first and then seal it up. Has anyone else tried this? It would give a nice new clean look. You can get the stuff in a roll or 4 foot lengths.

Talked to a guy today that said I could spray the cables with clear coat?
