[Spridgets] Hand brake cable

[Chris King]

The 1500's only had the cable across the back for '78-'79. '77 and
earlier used rods like the 1275.

1/4 leafs used one rod, 1/2 leafs used another, and 1500s used a cable 
across the rear axle. 
All the E brake cables are the same. I find NOS cables on Ebay all the
time. 
But I do have one that was in the Holy Sprite for damn near a whole week
;)
