Emergency brake cable shorting gizmo.
Can anyone tell me where I can get one of these gizmos? Cant find anyone who handles them. You know, a little adjustable clip thingy that you hang over the brake cable and tighten it up to remove slack. Thanks Barners.

Re: Emergency brake cable shorting gizmo.
Those Dorman adjusters are one of the oldest aftermarket products still in production. Maybe THE oldest.

Re: Emergency brake cable shorting gizmo.
Hi
Is this used to adjust slack and then remove? Or replace existing stock cable adjuster (under car) ? |

Loosen original adjuster, install new adjuster on cable and adjust to take up slack. Then re-adjust original adjuster if required. ( the new adjuster stays in place) Can recall using these back in the 50's.
