Question

Front Brake Cable Car
Photo 2 of 2
Front brake cable car frame. Do you see any problems with either or both of the photos.

Answer
Something does not look right in this photo of the frame bracket. With the car up on stands turn the wheels had in one direction. Watch the area of the clamp and see if the cable slides in the bracket. Turn the wheel in the opposite direction and check again. Let me know.
