Parking brake cable repair

[dartfreak75]

I accidentally cut my ebrake cable when cutting out my floor pans. It's the braided thin steel cable that horseshoes around the crossmemeber. Is there any way to splice it or clamp it back together without replacing the whole thing? Thanks

Yes, you will just have to back off the ebarake adjustment down below to create some slack to give yourself enough cable to lap it, and use a couple of metal braided cable clamps. Make sure to locate clear of any snags. You can google it, and you will see numerous types of clamps. Ideally this would be a temporary fix.

I'm looking for a replacement one but the only one I have found is for a dart sport. I figured I'd fix it If I cant replace it
