That's what i was thinking.....
Now, I am not sure if Tomr's clip is different from the ones I have experience with, but they kinda look the same as the ones pictured on the left. Do you notice the circular outline on the inside of the clip? Well that part winds up coming away from the clip and they now become pretty much useless as they don't securely hold the cable to the frame bracket. And they are rather flimsy and lack the rigidity and tension of the originals. Hopefully I have explained it so all can understand. If someone wants to add anything to clarify, feel free to do so. Again, bear in mind that while they kinda look the same, Tom may have a superior item than what I have had sent with the cables I have used.

I've used the clips that were supplied with the cables by Inline Tube only to find them lying on the floor with the centers broken out. I'm not using brake hose clips. Trust me, I've assembly a few E bodys this year alone....

Inline Tube is aware that the ball ends on our parking brake cables are larger than the factory ball. This was done for saftey reasons after having several small ball failures on original cables because of the small surface area. Also all of Inline Tube's hardware is designed to work with the larger ball which is only 1/16 larger in diameter then the original. This small ball end is only on 1 of the 3 to 4 cables and does not affect any function and is not even visable because once it is installed in the hardware you can not see the end of the cable.
Do the Fine Lines cables use the original ball size?

Maybe it's just me, but the difference in diameter looks like a lot more than 1/16"
Inline Tube Ball = 0.443"
Original Ball = 0.312"
