That's silly cool.

For brake cables, you might try a car parts place that handles old VWs. Early microbuses had brake cables near 10 feet long. If that doesn't work (and it didn't for me; I needed 12 feet), you can get cable of any length from a chandlery (sailboat place) and put ends on it (or have someone do so if you've got an old-school bike shop around that still knows how to do that).
