I have converted my 914 to 5 lug and 911 ebrake. I cutoff the OEM ebrake mounting tabs on the swing arm and welded them back on but straight back. Now that that is done I need cable extensions aprox. 6-7 inches long. Ideally these extensions would have eyelets on both ends. Where do you go to have something like this made? This is just a cable with no sheathing, I welded a bolt onto the bottom of each swing arm and mounted a bearing wheel. I'm expecting the cable extension to ride in this wheel. Any ideas?

Don't do it !!!!!! It makes the control arms way too heavy and strains the frame. |

Many have successfully invented a belcrank arrangement for this. Total weight addition less than a pound...... Attached image(s)

My setup is different from others as I didn't plan on useing a bellcrank to activate the 911 ebrake. My plan was/is to extend the OEM 914 cables with aircraft cable with no sheathing to wrap around the roller bearing pulleys in the pic. Any suggestions are appreciated.
