Default Parking Brake Control Cable

Anyone know the correct terminology / ACS part number for the locking T-handle cable some have used to control the Matco parking brake valve? I'm out of nouns to be used on the ACS search engine and have gone through 300+ items without success using the term "Cable".

Here's the parking brake cable I used in our plane. There is also one that moves freely. This may be the T-handle cable you are looking for. I used the CABLE END "B" NUT (shown on this page) to attach the cable wire to the parking brake Rosie

Default Parking Brake Control Cable

I used the A-700 Button lock cable from ACS. This has a center button that you push to allow the cable to be moved. This way, you can lock the parking brake on, and just as importantly, lock it in the 'off' position too.

I used one of the ones that came with the finish kit. looked like Rosie's.

(had to order another one from Van's with a black knob later on)

works great, hardly ever use it though, use it at Chino.
