<VV> Parking Brake Cable question - too short ?

[Charles Lee]

You're right - the nuts are on the same page, I just never expected that 
they wouldn't be part of the cable, so I didn't look, and the phone clerk 
never even tried to sell them, which I think they should at least mention 
them ?

Under the dash first, because it's fixed, and then the other end is last 
because that's where the adjustment is done.

May be right to adjust brakes before doing cable, but if cable installed 
loose, brakes can be adjusted later, if needed ?  I think they were done 
when I got the car, so maybe don't need it ?

I'll check, but want to find correct cable first, or figure it out ?

Thanks for the info !

Charlie
