Couple of random questions
'Ello folks, help needed again..
1. Does anyone know what lower ball joints are used on the indy R? Got in the garage for first time sine finishing uni and the rubbers have perished!
They were only trial fitted from new!!!
2. Where can I source a handbrake cable (sierra - calipers), and does anyone have an idiots guide to fitting? If speedy cables is the answer,
I'm going to need some help with routing so I can figure out length.. As always, appreciate the help

Try your local motor factors for replacement ball joint rubbers, since they became an MOT item most seem to stock them . Remove one of the old ones
and take it as a pattern. Can't help with the handbrake cable .

I shortened mine
Drilled a bolt lengthways
cut to match original ferul length
Threaded cable through with adjusters on cable fully in adjusted
Marked position, took cable off
Re threaded modified bolt, smacked it twice with a blunt chisel
Cut extra cable leaving an inch proud, mig it to a ball
It's been on 5 years

I drink to forget
I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)
