Welcome to the Delorean World... I'll look at mine tonight..I dont remember really !

Me too, a lot of the bad stuff I discovered was fixed by the Previous owner's mecanic !

Hi,
For sure any cable should not go through in sandwitch between anything. The deflector has normally a kind of hole or crease with rubber at the lip_ and the cable (for what I remember) goes through this. My D had a similar problem.
The previous owner told me that he has the best mecanic in the world working on his car _ and yet he couldn't figured out how come the parking brake didn't work. Aside from this in my case, the parking brake release fork on the right side was broken too.
Hope this help.
