Steve,
I have two suggestions for hooking up your emergency brake cable to the 10-bolt
rear axle; About four years ago I found a guy (through Hemming's) that custom
makes cables "Brake cables by George" (717/273-9502). He made my cables for
about 30 dls each. By the way, the measurements I gave him were 40" overall
cable length, 28.5" casing length.
Since then, I remember seeing one advertisement in a magazine for ready-made
cables, and I believe the company was Gennie Shifter (626/337-2536).
Best wishes,
Carlos Madero
