Marc,
can one of my clients bring you some cables he purchased from you for return or exchange?
He will bring his originals to show you the difference.

All Inline Tube cables come with the grommet installed on the front cables. If you purchased someone else cable set that did not have the grommet, it can be purchased from Inline Tube for $9.00. This can be installed on an assembled cable by using WD40.

My 70 Cuda Inline front cable did not come with a grommet. What do I have to do to get one?

I have been fighting a problem with a cable set for my 70 challenger. My car does not use an intermediate cable. Both cables attach to the frame bracket inside the driver side rear frame rail. I purchased the set through Year One a couple fo years ago and the supplier was Inline Tube. The problem I am having is that the long cable that goes to the passenger wheel is longer where it attaches to the front cable bracket causing a severe angle. There is about a 1 inch difference in the lenght of the cables. I spoke with Inline Tube and they told me to talk to Year One. I spoke with Year One and they ordered me a replacement passenger cable. It did not fix the problem. My next move will be to try to order a new driver cable. I have rechecked the levers on the brake shoes and they are in an equal position. I don't know what else to do. Has anyone out there experienced any issues like this? Gerry.

So what is the consensus?

It's pretty obvious that the 52" cable you are stocking is wrong, so are you going to make a revision?? Will those who have purchased prior be able to have a new cable made?? I would think it wouldn't be too bad, the sheathing is OK , just a new inner cable??

As stated previously, if you need a detailed measurement of an original from a 71 Cuda, I can provide detailed photos showing all correct dimensions. As this is an original car, I would not want to give up the actual original cable for this purpose.

What it comes down to is that Inline Tube is working on getting original cables in to our hands. I have one of the fine gentleman from this board sending me an original so that we can blueprint it and start working on what and where the problem is.

We are also interested in seeing any of the intermediate cables as we cannot see the front cable length changing and not the intermediate as well. If anyone has one and wants to lend it to us or swap it for a new one let me know.

Not to veer off course here,,,,

But while we are discussing the correcting and improving an existing product, some mention needs to be made of the flimsy horseshoe clips that are provided with these kits to retain the cables to the frame in the rear.

Low quality, half as thick, and lacks the tension of the originals. Nothing remotely close to the original part.

The center of them tends to break and they fall off, happened more then once to me!

You winked at me

Marc, will have an answer to our wishes soon
with a correct cable length. I believe the
55 inch cable application Inline tube number
550 for 72-74 challenger is the correct cable
for 71 cuda.

Don't flatter yourself.

Actually, the wink is a verification of what we have already determined weeks ago on this thread. yet somehow we are still on a fact finding mission?

I think we need to now direct our attention to these crummy horseshoe clips that are sent with these cables. As was pointed out by Alan G, the center just pops out of these worthless POS clips. Looks like a stamping gaffe to me, or they are possibly used for different applications where a larger diameter cable needs a retention clip. I never use them unless the originals are missing. The 40 year old stuff winds up being better than the new. But that is just the way it is,I guess..

Hey Bill Rolik, chime in here. Are you having these clips made??

Then your using the wrong ones.
