Help ID sheathed cable.

[signsup]

Picked up some NOS parts from an estate auction and there were 90 of these cables in a box of parts. All the other parts were Humvee, so I'm making a presumption here. Thinking maybe throttle cable, but pics I see show entire cable length is sheathed. This one is 45" long with 18" beint sheathed. Barrel end on one end and open at other end with a slide clevis type fitting in the middle.
Would like to know what you think they might fit so I can start finding a good home for them.

Thanks in advance.

Close up pic of the fitting end? Only thing comes to mind is park brake cable.

One end is the barrel and the other end is not actually a fitting, like I thought, but three seperate rubber gromets.

looks a little light to be a brake cable, would not mind having a few as these would be easy to modify.

This one on eBay is 40" in length and mine is 45", but I would think longer is better than shorter. That's what my wife tells me, anyway.

Yes but you can see that is a MUCH heavier cable!

That's might be a brake cable for a hobby horse, bicycle, but not a HumV and I have no idea.

OK... I'LL stop now, camo

Bicycle/motorcycle parts. Any part numbers printed or molded into cable?

heater cable?

heater cable?

The heater control cables are solid not stranded, Pretty sure this is not a HMMWV part.

I bounced it off two vendors as well and neither can ID, so to the back burner for now. This estate auction also had 2 1/2 ton and 5 ton trucks, so it could be anything. Thanks for looking.

I can positively say it is not a part for M880/890-series nor any other 60's-80's dodge truck, nor any 6x6 truck or jeep.. It looks very similar to a ford F250/350 E-brake cable, they are stranded cable and sheathed only a short distance, but those have a connector on both ends ..

Now for the "my guess is as bad as anyone's" portion of this post: The grommets on yours probably act as (dirt, dust) wipers.. Perhaps a control cable for some sort of piece of equipment ? Similar to a throttle, choke, or kill cable, the plain end of the wire could go through a screw-type connector attached to a lever at the controlled component

aha!!! good catch !! the bare end inserts through the caliper connector , and yep, the other end has the tee .. Haha and now the double-jeopardy question, which brand does it fit ?
