Theres about ten inches too much, the other side is tight and everything is adjusted to where it should be and is attached to the handbrake lever and we now have this excess. Any ideas? Even thinking about hand making a new hoop witha grub screw or crimp it again after cutting to length?

You could try a norsman type fitting these are used on yacht rigging, try find a yachting/boat type chandlery they may be able to swage you a fitting on the end.
