<VV> Starter /Fried Brake cable Pt 2

[Doug Foust]

First problem solved.  Continuity checks with ohm meter showed solenoid was 
not disengaging with battery disconnected.  Pulled the rebuilt starter, 
solenoid disengaged fine.  Seems there is enough play in the starter bolt 
holes and since gravity makes the starter tend to drift in deeper (closer to 
flywheel) that the gear was too deep into the flywheel, so I reinstalled 
with leverage to push starter further away from flywheel while tightening 
starter boltsl, now seems fine.

Thanks for the responses.

STILL can't explain two brake cables in a row melting at rear of tunnel.  
I'm concerned, but have looked for any sort of rubbing and/or possible 
arcing to cable path w/o success.  Did find one brown wire in harness 
through tunnel that may well have arced to a brake hydraulic line connector 
nut at rear of tunnel, but can't see why that would travel all the way to 
emergency brake cable before finding ground.  Any more ideas?  Harry Yarnell 
suggested bad battery ground to engine, but it looks fine and tests 
resistance free.
