I put a new parking brake cable on my Alpine a few years ago and it was never really right from the beginning; I had to take up all of the slack in it in order to get the brakes to hold, and this was

I've heard that it is practically impossible to weld braided cables like that and have it be strong, due to oil and contamination between the wires. But I have used one of these, and it worked as adv

I wouldn't try welding. I have heard that motorcycle shops do this sort of thing (not by welding). I would see if one of them could help. -Steve Trovato strovato@optonline.net _______________________

There are cable shorteners that will work if the cable is not in a sheath all the way back. It looks like 2 triangular plates with bolts or studs through 2 of the corners. At the third corner there

I'd like to hear plan B first. I'd wonder if welding the cable would weaken it or cause hard/inflexible areas. Can you add a spacer at the other end? Remove the cable and take it to someone who can p

Can you just wrap the cable around something small and secure it so that you've effectively shortened it an inch without removing any cable? I'm thinking you'd wrap it around a small bolt with a nut

I was thinking along these lines as well. But my solution it to make a small loop with the cable, push the loop through a nut, then place a small nail in the loop to prevent it from pulling back out.

My thanks to everyone for lots of very good, and very quick, advice. It sounds like welding is definitely out, especially a used cable that is likely to have dirt embedded in the strands. While I am

I'm not sure how good of an idea that would be. The cable in question is part of a critical system, especially in a car with a single-cylinder brake system. When you have your service brake fail, the

If both the cable and the ferrule were steel, I wouldn't be afraid to try and weld the end of cable to the end of the ferrule. Crimp it as good as you could first, then if you cut the cable flush wit

I would suspect that it could cause problems. Just like with electrical connectors, crimping is strongest. Soldering a connector on a wire tends to "stiffen" the wire, and the dynamic movement of the
