Parking Brake Cable Hangers - Broken

[SoCalJim]

Both of my parking brake cable hangers are broken, allowing the cables to lay on the u-joints of the stub axles.  Do any of you know a source for replacement parts or have a nice solution to replacing these?  Thanks!

Greetings fellow member of the Jim club. 

Me thinks the material used is very similar to the bargain basement style exhaust hanger parts I see at the local auto parts emporium. Now I think the original parts come with and installed on (ie threaded through), a new OEM cable, which makes it a bit tricky to apply "new" ones should you be able to fabricate or buy some. 

I may have a slightly used cable with these items still attached for reference.

Thanks Jim!  I’m proud to be a member of the Jim club!

My neighbor had some 1/8” rubber sheet, so we cut a bunch of pieces to size, punched holes in the pieces, and stacked 4 pieces to make up each side.  I think this can only be a temporary solution, as the original material was layers of rubber with woven strands in it.  I’ll take a look at exhaust hanger parts and see if I can find something better than what we cobbled together yesterday.

Thanks again, Jim!

 A piece from the side wall of a tire might work.
