Hi.

After putting the body of my TR6 back on the frame, I have tried to re-connect
the hand brake cables. they now seem to be to long. As I pull the handle, the
cable does not pull tight enough to engage the lever that forces the bake pad
to grip the drum.  What am I missing?  Do these cables stretch over time?

Also do you feed the cable on top of the top of the frame assembly (between
frame and body)  or below the top of the frame assembly?

Any advise is greatly appreciated.
