I personally think trying to find authentic brake cables and housings is carrying things too far. I might keep the originals (at least the housings) if they were in good condition, but once replacement is necessary, I always use modern stuff, though I try to find realistic colors. The only exception might bee a super-valuable bike ridden by one of the legends of the sport. I think the only PX-10E that would qualify on that score would be the one ridden by Tom Simpson in the 1967 TdeF.
