E-brake cable too long, what do do?

[UpNorth]

Hi all,
The e-brake cables FFR supplied look about 18’’ too long.
Just wondering what I should do; simply cut them and then get replacement for these metal « endings »?
Can these be source easily?
Or could FFR sent me the wrong cables?
Thanks in advance.

mine were too long as well, I cut them to the correct length and swaged new ends on them. I got the tool and parts at Lowes, it was a few $$. I suspect the "Canadian completion" parts we got are for the MkIV not the Coupe? I have the Wilwood IRS brake setup and it work well.

Thanks David,

On my side I finally sent an e-mail to FFR with a picture of the cables with a 4 foot ruler by their side.
FFR said they sent me the wrong cables and the right ones are on their way.

I don't remember why I did not contact FFR but I did not. Anyway you got it figured out and I think the best way.
