Subject:      ebrake cable equalizer?'sPlastic water outlet ripoff

Dear Listees:  The Bentley photo of the bar that holds both emergency brake cables on my 90GL appears to be more or less at a 90 degree angle to the primary cable coming from the front.  Mine is tilted almost at a 45 degree angle and has been really since I got it in 97.

1. Is this a problem or are both sides getting enough presure to hold the car on a hill?

2. Is there individual adjustment on each cable or do I need to replace either the longer of the two or both cables>

If they neeed replacing, list vendors, how much?

BTW, got another sticker shock at the local dealer yesterday.  The small water hose outlet on the rear of the #2 water jacket(maybe 1" in diameter and bends to the left, old ones were metal, newer models plastic) I decided I would inquire about replacing mine(a refurbished metal one stolen of an 84 corpse in a junkyard) since the motor swap is fast approaching, and the dealer wants $60 for this piece of plastic.  Vendors? Can you beat that price??
