HandyAndy Here are pics of both ends of my new PB cable. The rail end does not look like your pic. You can see how it is clamped in. I don't think this is the problem. The rail clamp only secures the casing that the cable slides thru. It does not impact cable length. The only solution I can see right now is making the slot in the slotted rod shallower thereby allowing the leading brake shoe to contact the drum sooner. I know this is not how it was originally.
