Can you shorten handbrake cables?
I just got some new handbrake cables for my (BMW) rear axle assembly and they are about twice as long as they need to be, obviously.
They are only sleeved halfway, as on the donor, the other half was inside the cabin. I can cut some length out of them here but how can I re-join them, as there is a threaded end that goes though the handbrake lever and is the adjustment point, which must be retained. Thanks guys, Sam.

You could use brass or ali tubing and crush it. Pass both ends through the tube from each side,then turn them back on them selfs alone the outside of the tube and the pass back through the tube the as the first insertion. Crush with a vice total cost probaby nothing.

Another option is to go to afishing tackle store and buy a wire trace crimp set the same thickness as your original cable .
