I must get under after a drive and check how hot does the rear section
get, something like fuel, water line hose split and just wrapped around
- sounds like the go. I was wondering if it would melt on the pipe and
smoke/stink.

Mine has got a bit of rubber hose over where it would rub, stops the
rubbing but means the cable will lift the exhaust a little with the
handbreak on. Probabally worthwhile if it is cutting through your
cable though.

Subject: damn hand brake cable...2.5 hours later didn't even fix my
orig problem
Was just stuffing about trying to get my car on ramps to retap my
front sway bar mount with new 3/8 thread in the old 8mm nut - story
in itself!
I hate driving on ramps with HD clutch and noone around the front
watchin...anyways I yank the hbrake and it comes out almost into my
lap...wtf? reef it once more car is creeping back down, geez
something wrong back there. Back down and have a look snapped the lhs
rear cable...ok grab one from the 'spares' car. Hmm no diff in that
one so she's sitin' pretty low...get stock jack, then trolley jack,
oh back up to the garage for chassis stands, get cable out...50 mins
already (hmm since it up there lets get those nice Bilsteins out for
the turbo beast as well - must be special little tool better than
shifter for the top of those?!) 1 hr 20mins. Move jacks, tool box
etc. up from back of place to driveway start over and install cable,
great shes' fixed! Wife calls "DINNER", the sun has set and work is
over got no where near the sway bar!
Cable snapped right where it passes under my 2.5" exhaust, doesn't
really rub hard but heat and friction combined is the problem. There
are slight tell-tail marks on the exhaust but not excessive Since it
nearly clears it going under there's no point trying to go over the
top it would be rub much harder. Wondering how this works especially
with 3" exhausts etc and what your 1600 is like or is my exhaust just
a bad shape and need improving to be way up close the the body as it
bends around there?
