That's sort of what I was thinking. And of course the parking brake won't work after you do that. Parking brake cables are available from Rock Auto--they sell Left and Right cables but the only difference is which way one of the brackets is on. Easy enough to reverse that bracket.
Or make your own cables using this write-up:
