Re: Handbrake cables
I think Reyland motors still have some for sale, he used to modify them for GTM when Paddy and Peter were at the helm.

Re: Handbrake cables
Originally the cables were Rover 420 but I have since replaced mine, a couple of years ago, buying a pair from Reyland, If my memory serves me right the Reyland cables were a few inches shorter, which helps.

Re: Handbrake cables
If you have the old ones as a pattern Venhill can make new ones for you. http://www.venhill.co.uk/

Re: Handbrake cables
The only reference in my 'build manual' donor parts list is to use 'Rover 220/420 handbrake lever ,cables and rear calipers'.
Hope this helps
Bob.

Re: Handbrake cables
Hi, Thanks for the offer but purchased a rover 400 one at clearance price. £5, hopefully right one and I can get it fitted pass the fuel tank without having to drop it. Matty

Re: Handbrake cables
When I changed my cables I undid the nearside and rear fixings to allow the tank to droop slightly, the rear bolt is accessed via the parcel shelf inside. Mind you don't knock any wires off the fuel pump when pulling the cable through.

Re: Handbrake cables
I hope i don't knock anything because if i have to drop the fuel tank, i'll probably change it for something better as i still haven't got around the silly problem of the fuel coming back out of the refill hole whilst filling it up, lol
