I'm having trouble imagining this bracket/lever, but it seems to me that changing the length somehow might change the force needed to apply the brake, or the force that the brake can apply. Is there

I put a new parking brake cable on my Alpine a few years ago and it was never really right from the beginning; I had to take up all of the slack in it in order to get the brakes to hold, and this was

I've heard that it is practically impossible to weld braided cables like that and have it be strong, due to oil and contamination between the wires. But I have used one of these, and it worked as adv

I'd like to hear plan B first. I'd wonder if welding the cable would weaken it or cause hard/inflexible areas. Can you add a spacer at the other end? Remove the cable and take it to someone who can p

Can you just wrap the cable around something small and secure it so that you've effectively shortened it an inch without removing any cable? I'm thinking you'd wrap it around a small bolt with a nut

I was thinking along these lines as well. But my solution it to make a small loop with the cable, push the loop through a nut, then place a small nail in the loop to prevent it from pulling back out.
