Hey folks,

Got the new parking brake pieces installed. Finally get around to connecting the cable...but find it's too short! Anyone know how long the cable highlighted in red below is on a 72 Duster? A nice kit, but Inline Tube tech support is not being very helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Pat

Thanks for the reply man. The cable is too short to even make it from the driver side piece to the adjuster.
 
so you cant adj the equalizer anymore to get the length you need?

Nope. The cable is so short, it doesn't even reach the equalizer when attached to the rear brakes. Car had none of the p-brake parts on it when I bought it, so I don't have the original cable to compare with.

It seems the cable I received in the kit is a mispick/mislabeled piece (Everything else in the kit fit perfectly). Hoping someone knows or can measure their set-up so I can let Inline Tube know what I need.

Thanks again zombywoof,
Pat

Yep. No doubt man. Funny how the easiest part of a project (literally doesn't even require tools!) turns out to be a PITA lol.
