The Cable is well made with zinc and cadmium coated ends. Correct size end to fit into the hole on the brake baking plate but had a little play when the tangs were engaged in the hole so that it could move in and out about a sixteenth of an inch. I cut a gasket out of a sheet of rubber I had and put it on the cable at the shoulder were it enters the backing plate. Sealed it plus took out the free play. The spring was a little long so I trimmed about an inch and a half off so it would lay flat against the backing plate inside the drum. I give it four stars because I think it should come with the gasket. It works great.
