Hand brake cable
What handbrake cable would people reccomend. I have a metro handbrake lever but the cable is too long - any reccomendations.

We used Allegro as per the book, they're ideal.

Depends on what rear set-up you're using.
On mine (discs at the back / IRS) I used two Sierra 4*4 cables cut down so I had an adjustable screw thingy on both halves... then some cable clamps
on the chopped inners.
Not the cheapest but works well....

I'm using standard escort drums. Will the allegro ones fit my metro handbrake lever?

Mines done almost the same as the picture (although its not my picture)
I have made a balance bar so i can adjust free play in cable if required as the Alegro cable has no built in adjustment.
