Hi i need to know where to find these brake cables?!? would be grateful if anyone could help they have a symbol at the end of them that looks like this... <c> but the c is in a kite shape rather than them being separated

Brake cables are standard. If you need some sort of specific brand, post a pic of the logo.

Those are Campagnolo cables. Very nice, but as speedy25 notes, not strictly necessary unless you're doing a full-on restoration. If that's the case, be prepared to spend some $$$

IME, modern die-drawn cables and lined housings such as Jagwire offers are as good or better than the vintage Campagnolo cables and much more affordable.

Sold on ebay. But fronts are more easily found than rears. And they're expensive, of course.
I use them. But only because I have them. By the by, I re-use mine unless they're totally shot.
But they last a good long time.

If you want Campagnolo quality, especially if you are looking for discontinued parts, you will pay the Campagnolo PRICE.
I really like the ferrules that come with the cable sets.
Might look for a whole set of cables.
Often they are not that much more than the cables alone, $60-100 on ebay would not surprise me.
