It looks like the clip goes in the hole before the cable?
That would be correct.

Marc McGrew at Inline Tube was kind enough to send me a new grommet for my front emergency brake cable.
Marc, thank you.
Here is a comparison picture showing the differences between Inline's grommet and a used original.
When I get to the office tomorrow I will try to post a picture of the one we did for Fine Lines that I'm test fitting right now. It looks identical to your original Snoopy except I didn't machine the "FB" in the tool yet.

Now for the next challenge. Shoving a 3/4" diameter part through a 11/32" diameter hole.
Soak the grommet in hot water for a while and then apply some lube... Really helps.

Use liquid hand soap and it will go right on.

i thought i was the only one that was having issues with my e-brake stuff. not only is the lengths different, did anyone find the ball on the ends of the intermediate cable to be larger than original? i brought one to Ohio 2 years ago and showed someone from inline tube the difference with my cable and a repo. i got the "DUH, are you sure it's original, DUH. um, oh, um uuhhh". then i asked why they don't make them like the originals, i got "uh, oh, uumm, i don't know, duh".
one thing i've learned from restoring my Challenger
repo, junk
repo, junk
repo, junk
every repo part i've put on my car, i had to modify in some way shape or form
repo, junk
yes, I posted that and was told to grind out the holes to make them fit. but ya, the balls are bigger

yea aarcuda, that's what i did. it's a shame that someone can't just buy a piece or couple of pieces to replace damaged or missing parts. you need to buy everything to make it work the way the reproduction was designed. OR modify parts to get it to work correctly. the intermediate cable i bought didn't have the plate that the adjuster rod goes through. i had to pry my old one off and put it on the int. cable. the ball ends were bigger, so i had to drill out the clips that attach the back cable to the int. cable. and finally, because the cable was longer, i didn't think it was gonna fit. BUT i was able to put the adjuster rod in a different hole in the frame to make it work. it works fine, but i guess i'm gonna lose points because of that

I got a set from Summit Racing (Right Stuff) for my 70 Challenger. Mine fit perfectly.
Thanks. I know about the "Right Stuff" product. I understand they are good "aftermarket" cables, but I'm looking toward either Fine Lines or Inline Tubes for their "factory correct" manufacturing.
