Your low brake pedal is probably just because you need to adjust up the rear shoes.  Your previous handbrake cable was probably acting as an adjuster on the rears.
I suppose you can buy a new rear cable or get it made up by a brake shop.  Are you sure you have snapped it?  The cantilevered bracket underneath may have lost its pivot, check it out as its a cheaper fix if this is your problem

Subject: I need a Hand with Brakes

Hi list,
 
Having one of those days where you wanna just kick the crap outta your datto.
 
Few things happened, but the one I'm worried about is my brakes/handbrake
 
I pulled on my handbrake in uni and snapped it, between the bit where it goes from one line to both the wheels at the back. And now not only that but my brakes are spungy as, like they almost touch the floor. I bled them once before and I don't think I did a good job. I couldn't remember the order to bleed them, is it furthest to closest?
 
Also whats the best bet with my handbrake? a second hand one from the wreckers? how much should I pay?
 
thanks in advance
 
Richard
