Their factory length cables that I bought for my K20 were too short.. after fiddling for several hours I realized the backing plate end piece was clamped on the cable 3" inches from the end of the cable.. I spread the piece back open, slid it down the cable to the very end where it was supposed to be and tig welded a few good spot welds and it fits great now.. The end of the cable housing was sticking into the brake drum so far it was actually hitting the front brake shoe.
Inline tubes customer service sucks..
