Cossie handbrake cable length

Any one think that 10ft (even if its double over) is likely to be inaccurate for this cable?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120827242961&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

I asked the seller how long and they came back with 10' 13", which at first seemed too long, and then even less likely as 13" would infact be 11'1" - is the seller having me on?

Anyone else got an idea how long it will be?

A standard (non-Cossie) Sierra handbrake cable is 11 foot long give or take the odd inch. I don't see why a Cossie one would be a different length.

All disc braked Sierras use the same cable (according to Brakes International) but you'll be paying over the odds for something "Cosworth". There are cheaper buys on eBay for bog standard Sierras.
