Parking brake cable

Have any of you tried any of the parking brake cables listed on EBAY? There are a bunch of them listed, but that website is notorious for generic listing photos and no specs. I snapped my front half the other day and I would really like to have one again.

About all you can do is go by the correct ends and length.

I have had nothing but problems with aftermarket cables over the years .

If it's stretched out you could always tie a few knots in the sumbich like the dude I bought my truck from did.
