Cortina Handbrake Cable's
Jon Ison - 17/3/02 at 06:48 PM

used a cortina rear axle, (8" brakes) can't as yet locate a handbrake cable, all you boffins out there know of another that may fit, i need to use the proper one-ish cos i welded brackets onto the chassis to suit the adjuster bit on the old cable off the doner, i could use that one but it looks a "bit rough" to say the least.......
thanks in anticipation.
