Re: e-brake cable end?
I have not located any ends so I have been making my own out of 3/8 steel rod cut to length. Drill a through hole so that the cable just fits and then crimp the part onto the cable.

Re: e-brake cable end?
I never had the ebrake on my truck but couldn't you just trim from the other end?
Jims idea sounds good but you can also buy aluminum crimp fittings, would save some time |
