Reply to "e-brake Cables"

Mark,

When raised, the cables get pushed into whatever is closest....typically the exhaust system..........

Like so many projects DeT engineered, they looked good on paper, until they were executed..... ie the flip front end of the Guara.... "What are these two wooden blocks for?"

When these cables get loaded or pushed out of shape, it isn't by too much, but being that an exhaust system can be hot...the cable sheathings usually paid the worst price. After that, floor jacks or contact with objects flattened the housings.... There is enough play in the system that when the cables are pushed on, they do "activate" the ebrakes slightly, so running the car up in the air for long times would not be recommended if the wheels are spinning.....or the sheathing starts smoking!!!!

I've stared at them for a long time.....and just haven't come up with a better deal.......yet. Right now, I have no exhaust system in my car, so they look like they would work great!!!! Ugh.....
