BAL Accuslide Replacement Kit

[Route 66 Rambler]

Trying to find the replacement kit for our BAL Accuslide cable system on our 2019 MHC 330RL. When I go to the Amazon link that has been used here several times (and the same one I have used to order it previously) it now comes up as a Tire Lock Chock but has the same cable repair kit photo. Has anyone ordered the repair kit from Amazon lately and have a good link? The cheaper $19 ones do not have good reviews. Not trusting the sketchy Chinese sounding sellers.
Thanks.

It sure looks like "cheap" Chinese products have taken over. I have bought replacement BAL cables in the past. They were around $27.50. There are now at least 3 different "products" being offered.

Universal 22305 RV Stainless Steel Cable Repair Kit at $19.29 Amazon.com

ADNIK BAL 28000A Tire Lock Chock (what my previous 3 order links took me to). This appears to be a BAL product based on the manufacturer. But why the “Tire Lock” label?? The price is $30.66. which is close to what I was paying in 2019. Amazon.com

22305 Cable Repair Kit Accuslide by BAL R.V. Products Group. This seems to be the "official" BAL replacement kit at $62.07. If I were to order again, without knowing, this is the one I would get based on the reviews of the previous two kits. I think a call to BAL is in order. They should be able to tell you if the ADNIK product is really a BAL offering. https://www.amazon.com/22305-Cable-Repair-Accuslide-Products/dp/B01B04WCDC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1JQM21S80RYHJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DuBcW_xV6qGWLPD_r-CqAbPVdIp7-YcPD3dltzrTl2R9YYsgWgvMwNjTOfQlngw9CWKi5lAhlbLsLUQXRZle2ZN755d81_XjIaUTW4G0VUgx2Pcm5nI1mu70_YHg0D1YDoN0k6UcKaxH0ig3Zm0SVlnxhMeuOkWkjMcivbzxTZA.VTOMbA9CAjrEQmBEleoVRCIXr96mrnV1IBpYDQ-yMgk&dib_tag=se&keywords=bal-accuslide+cable+repair+kit&qid=1748208995&sprefix=bal+accuslide+cable+kit,aps,238&sr=8-2

The cable ends seem to have the most complaints. The cheaper products don't weld the cable to the end. They seem to simply crimp the fitting which has a history of not holding tight.

I saw that the second option for $31 was what I ordered previously. There haven't any reviews since last year. I'm on the fence about getting it but I can always return it. I am wanting to get one quick to have as a spare to get home. Just went thru two kits as we had to use the cable from the second kit because the cable was cut to short on the install on the first attempt.
