just seen these on rally design. anyone know if they fit the sierra calipers ok? they might be bordering on slightly too short for my car, but could work with the right routing.

is that price fair do we think? i remember one place quoting me something like £35 PER CABLE! and i need 2 cables! think that was speedy cables

is there any problems with the handbrake lever ends being screw on clamps like in the photo? i'm using a rover handbrake lever, so the idea would be to screw a female rod end to the threaded bar on the lever, and but the 'bolt thing' in the photo though the rod end.

if that won't work, then the cables will have to wrap round the rover balance bar, and clamp with those U bolt things you get on some cables


or does anyone know anything more about this one?

length? is it 2 seperate cables? etc
although it does say cable, rather than cables

They are for the Wilwood Hand Brake calipers so I dont think they would fit Sierra

i've got one off a astra, and that fits, so it is possible

RD also sell a pair of handbrake cables for the hydra mech caliper, the end is different to the one pictured and may be better suited to the Sierra calipers.

I'll check later.

I think I paid £25 each for my cables from my local spare parts place and cut them in half.

Okay so it cost but sometimes I'm prepared to throw money at a problem to make it go away. Doesn't happen often though!!

Sorry, the cables for the hydra mech caliper won't fit the Sierra calipers.

^ no worries, but thank you for checking i can't see them (or the hydra mech calipers) listed on the website any more anyway

Westfield sell a cable for Sierra Calipers.
You can check online for the price

rally desing ones are too small. just called them

had a look at westfield, but my handbrake has to be 2 seperate cables. i can't use 1 since the lever won't be in the middle of the car. standard sierra cab;es are too short to reach the back of my car too

sierra estate ones are longer if it helps ive got one in the garage i can measure
Ray

cheers ray
i need the outer cable to be minimum 2m long although i haven't measured properly yet, but i think i can get away with 2m

oh the outers are effectively 35" and 37" and the inner is about 11ft in total
you could try these guys
speedy cables
not used them but theyve been around for years
Ray

35"? that really short! not even 1m
it was speedy cables that wanted about £35 per cable theres another place i found via ebay
