Sierra handbrake cable
Got round to sorting handbrake on my part-built Tiger today. This is how the handbrake cable is at the moment - looks wrong to me, I presume the
sleeve should be fixed in to that hole in the drum, using the nut that's there inside? Thanks...

I don't think so. As far as I remember, the handbrake cable is not fixed inside the brake backplate. I think I unhooked the nipple and the
handbrake cable just pulled straight out. It's held in only by the tension.
I could be wrong though

Isn't the threaded end supposed t to be at the adjuster end, not the back plate
cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

It doesn't look like my Sierra cable (I'm on drums).
With drums you have an end with what looks like 4 small tangs at the compass points around the cable. You poke this through the drum back plate and
the tangs stop the selve being pulled back out.

Thats not a Sierra cable. Sierra one has spring clip/tangs on the drum end and a plastic barrel adjuster screws along the outer at the other end then
loops back to the other side via a fixed outer.
