[T3] Parking Brake

["Henk Vandenberg" <henk_vandenberg@hotmail.com>]

Several weeks ago I got some very good advice from some of you on how to 
understand my fuel injection.  I have also been studying my manuals and 
looking at the archives for other tips.  What a resource!  My thanks to the 
webmaster.

I have finally adjusted my parking brake to get the desired "5-click" travel 
of the handle.  The handle used to come waaay up, and the brake still did 
not hold very well.  I first adjusted my brake shoes, then I went after the 
parking brake adjustment.  I wonder if it had ever been adjusted because I 
had to tighten both cables almost as far as they will go.  Now I have my 5 
clicks, but I think the cables must be stretched out.

Question: Should I think about replacing these brake cables now that they 
seem to be stretched out?  Are the parts available?  Hard to do?  My car is 
a 1969 Fastback.  I am the second owner.  First owner was a now-deceased 
relative who took pretty good care of his cars.  Thanks everyone!

Henk
