Works a treat but the end ferrules on need slight filing to allow them to fit into the drums and shoe operating arm. This is minimal and does not affect the strength or operation.
Why do I rush so much?? Got all excited about having my cable problem sorted and ran out and got some Peugeot 106 1.5d SR2 handbrake cables.
Of course I've got 4x4 discs on the back of my car and these babies aren't going to cut it! These have a little arm on the top...
Anyone know a short handbrake cable with a 10mm long x 5mm wide eye on the end?
or is there a convenient pulley system available to take up the extra 500mm in the cable I have? really don't want to cut it.
Cheers
