The other day my e-brake cable snapped. Since the lever was completely loose I assumed it was the short front cable that tore. After throwing it on
the hoist at my dad's shop a week later (Thanksgiving day) we found out it was the driver's side rear cable that snapped inside the sleeve. It was
totally rusted.
My dad happened to have my old cables from the drums. We modified the back end of the cable using the starlet sleeve stop and the little eyelet that
connects to the caliper. We cut the drum brake cable to length and brazed the eyelet on.
Works great now. That's the downside to using 16 year old Starlet cables. |
I bought brand new cables from Paul at starletparts and listed the part numbers on this site.

I believe with shipping all three pieces were 125-130 USD. Front cable, left and right cable. Send a U2U to Paul at Starletparts.

I will say this though. The benefit of modding the original Tercel cables instead of using starlet cables is that the cables actually fit into the
factory clamping locations. The Starlet cables are a few inches too short for a Tercel so one has to string them as the crow flies.

Have you tried asking GT_REVVA. I thought I read that he might be able to help getting those parts or at least better direct you.

now looking at this I realized something
When I installed my cables i had to do the opposite mod. I had to drill the plate to make the holes larger so that the cable thingies could fit.
I guess my cables were from an ep91 which would have fit your 95+ terc without any mods. And your cables would fit my terc without any mods. oh
well... not a big deal but I thought I'd mention for the future generations. |
It does make good sense. |
Proceeded with my swap today and found some interesting details that differ from this here write up. However, for teh most part, it was awesome to
follow.
My set was from a Glanza(EP91).
My cables had the same size ends. Tercel left and Glanza right.
However, I did find a problem where the banjo fitting hit the part the backing plate mounts too. I had to grind it or the banjo and bolt would get in
the way.
I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the two cables are specific as to which side it goes on--driver or passenger. Anyone?  Reason being, the passenger side cable was actually tigher and did not fully
release even when hand brake was down.

No bracket to support the brake lines by the wheels like these and a hard line?

I have SS Braided lines with my kit. It's just one long line per side. No harndline or rubber line, therefore, not using the bracket. However, the
problem is the banjo fitting and the bolt that locks down the banjo end to the caliper. I couln't even get the caliper mounted to the bracket, that is
how badly in teh way it was. That's been taken care of.
What I'm really trying to focus on is the e-brake cable--if they are specific to each side--driver/passenger. I think what I'll do is take it off and
lube down in the lines. Yeah?
I was able to use all the mounting points, but I had to move one on each cable.

So the cables are different.
This is teh tercel cables, but I think it applies to the starlets as well and I think I prolly mixed them.
About 1" length difference.
Also notice the Tercel cable is tagged with colored tape--one green the other yellow.
I bolted back up the heat shield that protects the cables from the heat in the exhaust track once I attatched the ends so I never got to see what it
loocks like in the junction where the two cables meet with the singel cable coming off the e-brake lever. I'm thinking that it is probably badly
tilted since the one that is supposed to be longer is actually a bit shorter and that one thats supposed to be short is a bit longer.

BTW - I still have a spare set of Starlet rotors if anyone wants them. I clearly have no need for them anymore...and could use the gas money.
