Gotta be kidding me!1 side of e brake cable is seized up and not getting any good response but telling me what do you want from me? Thanks! You should at least say "sorry I didn't realize"

[adamzx5]

I had that happen when I had my neon.Sorry about your luck

[02_svt_guy]

I also just took 1 of mine apart and cleaned it all up cause it was sticking bad... At least you can take care of it now and not when it is on the car.

[konafocuswrc]

I hoped it is just sticking, it is seized. it is like a 1 piece..
I am researching to see if any hatchback with rear disc setup is compatible. If not, I saw some st 170 cable on Ebay UK.

If you can't get the cable working Leo, I have mine I bought still... I'm not sure if it's in 100% working order either, but it came right off a working car so I'm assuming so

[konafocuswrc]

thanks, i heard same from the seller, he said it worked fine but i just believe that he didn't realize it because his car is auto. the car doesn't need extra grab when parked.

looks like this cable got seized at least there for 6 months.

i have left over evapo-rust from canadian tire, i put seized side in container and hope this thing dissolves rust inside of cable insulation and free the cable.

I probably shouldn't get involved but if you're desperate Leo I can get you a complete set of Dorman cables, front and 2 rears for Saturday for 50 + HST. It would need to be ordered today.

[MuskokaZX3]

Let me know if you want my old one... I can ship it out tomorrow and would be there in the same amount of time it took for the gauge pod to get there

every time i work on my virgin never been touched 2000 focus, she gives me a hard time. my old kona(from california) never had this problem.

so i ended up cut this mount in half to take out.
my ingersoll impact gun couldn't take this off and breaker bar in tubular pipe broke bolt head off.



now i gotta find proper bolt for this mount.

[hardk0re]

Thats Ontario SALT... 12 years of it hurts any car.

Looks like a Catch can of some sort you modified from a Water bottle

[konafocuswrc]

it is windshield washer bottle.
stock one cannot fit, i mean it fits but looks ugly, i was looking for alloy tank, so i can modify it.
but then i found this bottle that i haven't used for a while, i drilled hole there and wrap teflon tape to make sure there will be no leak.
then used left over panel adhesive tosecure pump.

i will grab some video, you will love it lol

[konafocuswrc]

hows this?
click and watch

[konafocuswrc]

using short stranded fiberglass reinforced body filler.


spoiler bracket is made, it needs some more flattening, trimming and cleaning surface.
i will paint this brackets white and paint spoiler black.
