1968 Satellite with 10 " drum brakes. Driver side inner brake cable had been cut off right at the point that it comes out of the outer cable at the front end. There is a mounting bracket right there that attach the brake cables with a U clip in the slot for each cable. The passenger side is the right length for the inner cable with the swedged ball on the end, to hook into the parking brake adjustment & yoke. The inner cable with the ball extends about 9" beyond the end of the outer cable.
I sent for a park brake cable for the drivers side and received one that the inner cable only extends about 2 -1/2" from the front end of the outer cable. It also needs to be about 9" to hook into the cable yoke & adjustment.
Parts man insists that the cable they sent me was from a 68 Satellite. Ant idea's about what my problem is? Anyone have the right length cable that I need? Could I be missing a part that would extend the short cable to be the same length as the longer one? Thanks for any help.......................MO
