this company here

just found them via ebay.

wondered if anyone had any expericnce of them. after speedycables wanted £35 EACH for my 2 handbrake cables, i'm looking for another possible supplier (rover 200 lever to sierra calipers in case anyone wonders. handbrake lever is to the right of the driver seat so must be 2 seperate cables)

and would any of these clevis' be allowed for IVA on the sierra handbrake cable?

are you able to run a pair of standard (read cheap) cables forward and join to a purpose built cable between an adjuster and the lever - that way you are making one short cable instead of having two made. May making adjusting easier as well.

hi

Yes, very good
Give them a sketch of what you want and they will make it for you.
Resonable price and good polite service.

steve, i couldn't do that, i can't find a standard cable long enough. my handbrake lever will need to go on the right of the seat, so a cable to the rear left wheel is very long. and twice as long as to the right rear. so must be 2 seperate cables. i think custom ones are the only way forward

keith, thanks for that! what sort of price did they charge?

I was thinking about puttinh my handbrake next to the passenger seat too. I am interested in a cable solution for this problem as well.
Do top moiunted handbrakes not get in the way of the drivers elbow?

ah no, drew, mine is going on the right side of the driver seat, but i guess the siduation is still the same, in that the layout is that the lever is not in the middle of the car.
