Brake cable clevis

Anyone know where to get these handbrake cable clevis and pins?

The bit circled above, having just swapped from Sierra calipers to Hi-spec I need to change the ends of the handbrake cables to suit....Hi-spec want £20 each per cable plus VAT and there is nothing wrong with my cables other than the wrong end on them which I can remove with an allen key

MK should be able to supply Allan key ones, not cheap. Friendly AA/RAC man could supply part of there repair kit I believe.

Boat chandlers can probably crimp you one on, might be worth asking around if you have one local to you.

Thanks for the replies so far

I have looked on ebay but very few have any dimensions and I don;t want to have to buy half a dozen different types to hit upon the best size!

No boat chandlers around here.

CBS are only a few miles from me but I can't see anything in the website....if I don't get anywhere soon I will pop into them next time I am passing on the off chance they have something

Becuase I have a million and one other bits to make and this was one I should be able to solve with a couple of £

Turns our CBS might have what I need only they call it a shackle and not a clevis, hopefully I can pop in at lunch time today and sort this out
