It's been a while since the last time I made cables, but I recall working in a dab of bulb grease with a chip brush after cutting and trimming the...
Every situation is different. What you are proposing will probably work. But you'll have to try it to find out. Just remember, driving on a 70*...

When asked my age, I give the number and usually add an adendum, "Some parts are older than other parts." You may quote me. I give you author's...
I've had good luck with "one-stop shopping solutions" at your average hydraulic parts and service storefront in Anytown USA.
