Weismann brake cable housing
I'm doing a restoration of 1970's Raleigh Gran Prix 10-speed. I'd like to replace a 7 5/8" piece of Weinman white, ribbed, brake cable housing. This is the housing that is "waffle" ribbed, for lack of a better description. Can't find it on eBay, unless I want to purchase a whole lot, or my LBS and I was wondering if any member would have a short piece to sell (or donate) so I can finish this project.

IIRC the housing you seek is of British manufacture rather than Weinmann.

The housing has definitely yellowed with age, even stained an ugly medium brown along half its length. Bleach has no affect on it. The bigger problem is breaks in the rubber housing.

I might have a piece in my junk box, too. I'll PM you tomorrow if I find some.
