Nobody asked but I wanted to share this
Shortening ebrake cables has always been a problem. You can buy adjustable ends with grub screws. but for me these have never held. You can use saddle clamps, but that looks pretty 'farmer'. Years ago I was into building dune buggies and shortened the cables by silver soldering, but perhaps 1 attempt in 2 would fail when you put some strain on it, it was tedious and expensive.
For my 1952 I made adjusters from old 3 speed trans shift lever adjusters, drilled them out , cut a three notches and brazed the cable into the notches.
man did that ever work well! Here I tried trying to break a test piece made with a single brazed notch. The fulcrum is the bottom of the vice jaw and I could put everything I had into the end of the crowbar and it held.
