I did a lift on one of my 2013 GEMs, and then the e-brake cables were too short. So I looked and looked and then found these guys, Control Cables, in Santa Fe Springs California, They made me the new longer cables in one day! Worked perfect. [www.controlcables.com](http://www.controlcables.com) ---

So he told me that this was the 2nd one for a GEM he’s made, so he can do it from a picture, but he was happy to look at mine first. I dropped mine off, since I live close, and told him I wanted it 18” longer. He made it, and it worked perfectly. The ends that the C clips go on actually have multiple slots on them to adapt to the GEM brackets easily.
