Ford Emergency Brake Cable

The LOKAR Ford Emergency Brake Cable (model EC-81FHT) is a cut-to-fit parking brake cable assembly engineered for Ford Explorer and Ranger platforms. Built with braided stainless steel housing, this cable delivers corrosion resistance and durability in demanding conditions where stock cables fail under heat cycling and road salt exposure. The kit includes clevises at both ends, eliminating the need for secondary hardware sourcing.

Braided stainless construction provides superior cable protection compared to standard rubber-jacketed designs. The cut-to-fit design accommodates custom firewall routing and aftermarket frame modifications common in vintage restoration and off-road truck builds. Pre-included clevises ensure proper attachment at anchor points without cross-threading or clearance issues. At 4.6 lbs, the assembly integrates into factory or modified brake systems without significant weight penalty or handling complications.

This cable assembly is specified for restoration shops, off-road vehicle builders, and operators maintaining Explorer or Ranger platforms in high-salt or high-temperature environments. The natural stainless finish resists oxidation without requiring protective coatings, reducing maintenance intervals in field conditions. Custom fabricators and fleet maintenance teams value LOKAR's modular design for system-level brake reliability upgrades where original cable geometry no longer meets performance or safety standards.

Parking brake cables are critical load-bearing components; proper installation and routing are essential for safe vehicle operation. Verify anchor point compatibility with your specific Explorer or Ranger model year before final assembly. LOKAR parts are engineered to OEM dimensional standards, ensuring drop-in functionality when installed per manufacturer guidance.
