Sounds like it. Trim the cable down and use a knarp. https://www.danscomp.com/products-PARTS/512027/Odyssey_Knarps.html

Also, what is the bolt for that has locktite on it, it has a cable sized hole in the side, that comes with Springfields? I appreciate the answers, i'm trying to setup brakes after not having them for 10 years.

that might be the knarp. cut the cable to the right size, insert the cable in the hole, and tighten the bolt down.

Sounds like jeff is talking about length of straddle cable. Cutting the brake cable shorter won't help the straddle issue. Unless you shorten both ends and use knarps
(jeff):
I fixed the straddle cable issue, now i'm having a problem with the brake arms. One of them won't return when i let go of the lever. It moves easily on the post, and if i hold the other arm, then it returns easily. I'm about to throw these Springfields in the trash.
