  On this second question....I found a fix for a similar problem with a
shifting linkage rod on my Honda sportbike at Ace Hardware.   They have
barrel nuts (I think that is what they're called) in all the useful sizes
and threads.  Mine needed 6mm x 100.   I simply got another bolt that size,
then added the barrel nut, with the other bolt inserted and ended up with a
longer linkage rod with more adjustment.   For the Ebrake rod you could cut
some new threads (they have metric thead dies there, too) and add a barrel
nut/bolt combo...problem fixed...
