Abstract
A cable assembly includes an adjuster body having a plurality of teeth, a slider movable along the adjuster body, and a lock body having a plurality of teeth. The lock body is movable between a disengaged position allowing movement of the slider along the adjuster body and an engaged position preventing movement of the slider along the adjuster body. A mounting bracket receives the slider and has edges located in opposed lateral slots of the lock body. The lock body has a first section on one side of the mounting bracket which interlocks with the slider and a second section on the other side of the mounting bracket which forms the plurality of teeth. The interlock includes tabs of the first section extending into pockets of the slider. The lock body has a snap lock at one end opposed to the mounting bracket and engagable with the slider.
