Good job.
Thanks jdl. You have a gift of ingenuity.
Sometimes 'fixed' things are better than new; it sure can be satisfying to overcome manufacturer flaws; a small victory that brings great joy.
Did you see my recent thread " Emergency Brake Cable Replacement Troubles 1996 3/4Ton 4x4" ? http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?t=1122090
I could use some feedback about whether to shorten those springs or just slap it all together and hope for the best.

Thanks for my first 'Thanked'
