Handbrake Cable Help?
 

I'm putting handbrake on my 70 Challenger.

Handbrake cable is too LONG (The section that runs from the handbrake to the 2 way splitter)

I can not divert it with a plate that's attached to the floor pan, the handbrake is just too long. The only thing that I can think of is to CUT it, but if I cut it I would need to clamp it at the end, which I don't know how I can do this.

Any suggestions?


Thanks

many times there are hooks that guide the cables away from the driveshaft and exhaust system. they hook on the frame rail. they take up some of the 'slack'. do you have any of those hooks on your car.

Do you mean foot operated parking brake? I have the Year one catalog here and it has the actual lengths listed if that helps

It's a foot operated parking brake, I bought it from Year One. Right part but cable too long. Bought it as a Kit (3 cables) for 70-71 Challenger.
Another thing, they put the small springs on the wrong side of the cables. So I'm not surprised that it's too long. It's only (estimated) 12 inches too long.

I have custom hook that I created (I can move anywhere I want, but still it's too long.
