t  In the event that more than one cable needs repairing, ensure that the pressure connections are not placed together. In order to prevent the section of cables from occupying too much space, position the pressure connection slightly away.
t  In the event that the repaired section is warped, rewrap the location with yellow adhesive after repairs have been carried out.
t  If necessary, secure the repaired cables with a clamp, this avoiding the generation of any noise when the vehicle is later driven.
