Default Emergency brake cable is rusted

My emergency brake cable finally started to rust so it making the rear brake pads grab a little bit. I've know this for awhile just waiting for something to start grabbing. Where can I get either a used or a new cable, or cables. I've been looking around with no luck. Also the adjusters on both sides towards the back of the car have rusted and there was a hold thing there that rusted off also so when you pull the brake the cable pulls but moves quite a bit. looking for a picture of that area so I can find replacements. sound very expensive and hard to replace because the brake cables are above the muffler shields etc.. Looking for an easy way out if possible, or I'll be taking the whole thing apart this weekend, not what I had planned to do.
I'll look in a junk yard.
