Re: E Brake Cable
Your cable can be shortened easily using a common crimping cable clamp. Other lines will need shortening or replacing as things get shorter...and cooler! Keep us updated as you move along.

Re: E Brake Cable
Here's what the place that did my shortbed did. However, I didn't feel that was safe with a driveshaft spinning around 3500 rpms close by. Not only that, but I had other issues with 1 wheel locking up so what I did was to cut it down the center, overlap them and use 4 cable clamps on each side towards the loose ends. It's very strong and I've had NO issues with it.
