Hey John,

I see what you are saying but I don't think it will be an issue for parking.  Take a look that the caliper mount, the large steel rod inserts into the caliper body.  I think it can take the force of the parking brake.  The cable is quite flexible and in its stock setup was bent 90 degrees, I am not sure how much resistance to caliper movement it offers mounted on both ends.
