Brake cbl's are NOT!! FOR ADJUSTING HANDBRAKE FUNCTION.they are only for free play at lever.Cables sieze,snap,rust ,but seldom strech.Assuming previous,99% of faults(including excess lever travel)are down to rear brake self adjuster failure(usually caused by over adjusting the handbrake)One or more of the rear brake self adjuster's is'nt working.Self adjuster's is a misleading term.They are actually adjusted by YOU! every time the handbrake lever is applied/released,but only if the handbrake lever has'nt been over tightend!Rear brakes need attention,rear brake self adjusters need unseizing and resetting.THEN YOU CAN ADJUST H'BRAKE LEVER FOR FREEPLAY.
