I had some strips of lead that I used to make different fishing weights, they were about 1/16" thick and 3" wide. I cut a 1/4" long strip, 1/4" wide, and wrapped it around my cable, under the rubber boot on the hand brake. It has been on for months and you can't even see it and it works great. Don't be a fool and buy anything. A zip tie works, but mine broke a couple of times. I checked my new rig, no wear at all.
