Here my reply to Dorman

Chris
Thank your very much for the fast reply.
Yes both cables have fit and function issue
I still need both cables to pass my already due official technical inspection here in Germany.
I'd be happy to supply you with the cables, if you have a possibility to pick them up here in Germany. Or do you have an other suggestion?

My address:
Julian Schroeter
Schubartstr. 11
72661 Grafenberg
Germany

Another reminder for the quality team in general.
As the Oldsmobile Alero / Pontiac Grand Am, and some other GM models have a self adjusting parking brake lever, a very smooth running cable is mandatory. Else the lever has to be pulled up way high (straight up in case of my rusty cable), so a smooth and durable plastic coating of the steel cable is necessary. Your cables have quite a resistance and erratic movement even if moved by hand.

Kind regards
Julian Schroeter

Did no one else have these issues with these parking brake cables?
