I did put a 27cm long spanner to the nut of the crank pulley. I connected a spring scale to the other end of the spanner. I pulled the scale ...

Thank you for your valuable advice.

I can understand that nuts and bolts can retain the cable. I will test with nipple with nuts. Will always use 1st gear until I become confident.

Re: Would it safe to make the parking brake cable nipple with Lead?

I alredy had cut the cable by an inch.

I have a crocodile iron nipple in which cable could be tightened with a nut.

If after tightened the nut, and then heating the nipple with butane torch and put Lead, would that be safe?

Re: Sound comes out from a electric relay

You are correct.

It was the battery that caused the problem. I couldnt off the switch fully. So the clock was working for around 30 hours. It has eaten the battery charge.

After battery was fully charged, now problem was resolved.
