temp. fix for e-break cable (parking break)
..>>>>THIS IN NO WAY IS MENT TO BE A PERMANENT FIX<<<<..
its amazeing how much money you can save by going to home depot, I had to pass the safty inspection today so I went to home depot and got some cable the same size and some swagers and a swager tool. Total cost = less than 30 buks. How it makes the breaks feel.. like new. You must lift the car high enough so that you can move freely underneath. I had the car about 2 feet in the air, and still strugled. I will let everyone know how long it last as soon as it breaks or slips to far to hold the car. I have done several attemps to anialate the make shift cable. still nothing has gone wrong. I have held the car with this cable up to 3000 RPMs.
THIS IN NO WAY IS MENT TO BE A PERMANENT FIX
Where I live the short cable cost 79 and the others cost 89 each.. I only had to replace the one under the handle, that goes to the driver side rear wheel. It took me all of 30 minutes to put on. BE CAREFULL

this is not ment to be a permanent fix.. well if you want a permanent fix you can also have someone weld the ends together.
I still haven't had any 'slippage' or 'looseing' of the cable i replaced a few months ago.
as soon as it drys out.. i'll crawl under and take some pics of the quick fix also pics of the tool and supplies used.

bumpity i'd like to know more about what cables you used? are they like the high tension stuff they use on sail boats?
i need to re-do my ebrake, i seem to have stretched mine pretty badly on a few offroad journeys.
