[urq] Upgraded e-brake cable problem. They are to short!

[eric harten]

Thanks Jim.  I would like to know I am not crazy.  I think I have a
work-around.  I found some 6mm threaded rod and a coupler.  I am just going to
extend the rod with 6in extesion.  Should do the trick.

Eric



Two different pull rods (the threaded bit) the vin break of which just 
happens to match that of the change between a single cable and two shorter 
ones. Anybody want to bet that the pull rods are different lengths?

I can check for you but can't get under my cars until the weekend.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
