Dan .
Your cable is most likely NOT too long. Rather the outer housing is not properly attached/ installed. Also the brackets supporting the cable might note be properly installed. Most people don't get the mechanics of a bowden-cable. The outer housing supports one force and the cable the other . Just tightening the cable is only solving a problem on one side. The housing or the brackets that support the cable are the other side. I hope to get to the airport tomorrow and try to get a few pictures of the areas to look for. You can buy a new cable , install it like the old cable and end up with the same problem.

(only brake I can use with my paraplegia) Looking under the panel I see a turnbuckle that is tightened the tightest it can go. Before I pay someone to tear out the floorboards looking, does anyone know if there is another adjustment that can be made or a simple solution to the problem. When I pull the parking brake out to full stop there is still some more pedal left on the floor that I would like to be able to use.
