<VV> Parking Brake Cable question - too short ?

[Charles Lee]

No, but I'd think including 30 cents worth of hardware with a $30 cable 
would be a sign of support, and very little cost ?
(Didn't the Corvair suffer because GM wouldn't spend $2 on a $2000 car ?)

No, I'm dismayed because that lack of concern may be why I got the wrong 
cable (if indeed I did get the wrong cable) ?

I also recently bought a Flaming River quick steer that I was going to get 
from Clark's, "ready to bolt in" which it is definitely not "ready to bolt" 
as advertized.
It requires that a flat be ground to fit the shaft, which could easily be 
done by them, to qualify as "ready to bolt" doncha think ?

I bought it from Seth who was honest and told me it needed to be done, so I 
was ready when it came.

I had hoped that someone on VV would have experience with early and late 
cables, and know right away if the EM is shorter, so I could just pack this 
up and send it back without waiting to call them to find out ?

Thanks for all your help though 0 it has definitely been a fun ride !

Charlie
