When I swapped from a PG to the Richmond 5 speed the e-brake cable was way too loose. I used a spacer on the adjuster and one of those tensioners you get at the parts store on the intermediate cable.

I want to replace the cables and don't know what size to get. There are front and intermediate cables for TH400 and for without TH400. Which would I want? I guess I need a shorter intermediate cable than what I had. Don't know if I'd need a differant sized front cable, too, though.

Isnt the Richmond 5 sp the same length as a Muncie, PG & T-350? I would put the car up in the air and pull everything tight and see how much length needs to be taken out of the front cable. Do you have the correct cable guides and supports. I put a Doug Nash 5sp (predates the Richmond buyout) in quite a few years ago and do not remember having problems with the e-brake cables. I replaced a Muncie.

Same length but the crossmember is further back. An inch or two, I forget.

The intermediate cable is slackened because the hook on the crossmember is now further back and there isn't enough adjustment in the front cable to compensate.

Is the crossmember further back on a TH400 than on a PG and the rest?

thank you

I would think you could just replace the intermediate cable...

As a guess, I would double the distance that you moved the cross-member back and the add that to the length of your old cable...

I didn't have any problems with mine adjusting (also slide the cross-member back for a Richmond swap).
