Hello James you know they , in the past , made a clamp that was made, to
make a cable shorter Emerg. cable stretch , so you put on this clamp to make
them tight . They were sold at all auto supplys . If you want to be fancy ,
machine a wheel to wrap the cable around . In a hole ,around wheel & out a
hole . Just my 2 cents Terry

Yes, but I don't understand how that would take up all of the slack

Could Steve be refering to the actual
valve pushrod with out the end
pieces.I think the cable would pass thru them.Just a
thought ?

I don't know how anything might work, but Steve at Wolfgang
has seen just
about everything and they manufacture a lot of what they
sell. That does not
mean that he cannot be full of it, either, but I would try
what he said.
What have you got to lose?
Or you could change the tranny to bone stock ;)

okay so I talked to Steve at Wolfgang. He said something
that I am still
trying to get my head around. He said he has a '57 Bus and
used two chrome
alloy push rod tubes and some washers and hooked it up that
way. He used
'64-'67 e brake cables. I still cannot understand how
running it through a
push rod will take up like 10" inches of slack somehow on
the later cables.
He also suggested two alternatives: looping the cable with
a cable tie and
re-shwedging the threaded end onto a cable after cutting it
by a hydraulic
co.
I have not measured the difference in length needed to
attach the end to the
e-brake arm yet but the later '59 cable length is only 6.4
inches longer and
the latter cables are even longer like 10" so I do not
understand why he
would suggest I use the later cables.
Can someone who is experienced in geometry explain this to
me? I will make
you a sandwich at the next transporters at the point.
Promise!
