Default On my 97' I have the brake lines on the driver's side and the fuel lines on the passenger's side.

This is the best picture, that I have. Don't mind the red circle, it is for an earlier post ( transmission position switch ). The parking brake handle is above the cat converter.

Default definately a foreign object. in this case, a three to 4 foot

metal/aluminum rod imbedded in the left side of the gas tank.

many thanks for the help.

as an aside, while on the lift, i noticed one of the tires has a small bubble on the inside side wall. any suggestions as to cause?

Default Re: Any DIY guys around? PaulW? This one has me stumped. BTW, orig. post on 5/26.

If you don't want to replace the entire section, you could visit the local aircraft repair station and borrow a swaging tool and splice in a new section of cable. It might save some time, and swaging is good enough for control cables so probably good enough for Ebrake.

Default Giovanni - now that I see the pics, way too thick for a cable (or rod)...

your baby has been penetrated by a foreign object, sorry.
Ps: you need a new camera
