I must be missing something. This new cable from Pelican appears to be too short. The adjustment at the pedal end is maxed out. The pedal itself is all the way back against the stop. I'm not sure if this is the correct hole but I see no other option. Pelican's part number checks out. Anyone have any ideas or solution? ThanksAttached Image Attached Image
