preffered methods??

I don't know wheather the clamps are going to pass the SVA (someone will), but without an x-ray machine or a series of mirrors,sticks, pulleys
etc..........
How would they know?

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

What we ended up doing was this:-
Make a U bracket for the end of each cable to fit to the balance bar by welding 2 strips of steel onto the female part of a brake pipe connector. Then
pass the threaded male part of the brake pipe connector onto the cable, followed by a piece of steel bike pipe which is flared at the end. Spread the
handbrake cable at the end and then then solder it. The solder flows all through the brake pipe and also creates a nipple at the end. When you screw
the brake pipe connector together the nipple is also squashed inside. We tested the strength of this on a test piece first and the cable snapped and
the cable did not pull through at all. See my photos section
