Smooth Operation: NOS Speedometer, Choke & Heater Cables
There is nothing more annoying than a bouncing speedometer needle or a heater cable that binds up when you try to adjust the temperature. These controls connect you to the car's mechanicals, and when they fail, the driving experience suffers.
The NOS Fitment Advantage Generic "cut-to-fit" cables rarely work right. We stock NOS (New Old Stock) Cables with factory-crimped ends and correct-length housings.
-
Speedometer Cables: Eliminate the "tick-tick" noise and bouncing needle with properly lubricated, factory-spec cores and housings.
-
Control Cables: Authentic pull-cables for Choke, Heater, and Throttle that slide smoothly and lock securely.
-
Emergency Brake: Front and rear cables with the correct protective sheathing to prevent rust.
The Command Center: NOS Gauges, Knobs & Lighters
The dashboard is the focal point of your interior. Faded lenses, broken knobs, or dead gauges detract from the quality of your restoration. Why settle for used parts when you can install NOS (New Old Stock) components that look brand new?

-
Lighters: Complete Casco and Rochester cigarette lighter assemblies (housing and element) to fill that empty hole in your dash.
Secure Your Ride: NOS Lock Cylinders & Keys
Is your trunk lock frozen? Do you need to jiggle the key to open the door? Worn tumblers are a security risk and a hassle.
Factory Security At Old Car Parts NW, we stock NOS (New Old Stock) Lock Sets that often include the original factory-coded keys (like Briggs & Stratton).

-
Trunk Latches: Replacement strikers and latches to ensure your decklid clicks shut cleanly without slamming.
Get a Grip: NOS Pedal Pads & Trim
Worn-out pedal pads are unsafe. If the rubber is worn down to the smooth metal, your foot can slip off the brake during a panic stop.

Brake & Clutch: Heavy-duty rubber pads for manual and automatic cars.
-
