Wheres Ragman? Quick call him in here ;) .....for £33.73 it would be worth it just to see! :cool:

Edit - looking at the discs part of the site, does the usual for the rears. Its listed them as being compatable with the 4.6, be nice at £53.62 posted wouldnt it :rolleyes::(

you need two

I am trying to fit two rears at the moment and the job is an absolute bar steward

Releasing the compensator required Houdini like abilities
I have yet to find a suitable sized tube to free the rear clips though.
Both cables are well rusted into the back plates so now soaked in plus gas

rumour has they will need to be drilled out though

I got fed up with it this afternoon so took the kids to fly their kite instead

having just taken delivery of and examined two brake backplate assemblies- I can imagine the brake cable interface wasnt very well thought out from a maintainability perspective !!

we need a supply of new cables at the right price

I have bought the standard QH items from Euro Car parts, £36 a side for my CDT

Hi Keith,

If we are still talking about handbrake cables for the ZT 260 then please send me your supplier details. Thanks, Big Frank.:)

Just received my PAIR of cables! They look good and I'm assured that they are the ones. Good for the price! :)

Thats great news, is it possible to measure the lengths and I can compare with the new one I have here

[Poledriver]

I'll dig them out in the morning and post the measurements up!

[GeoffW]

from end to end the right hand one is 2272mm I will post a close up of the ends tomorrow

That's interesting!
Inner is 1585
Outer is 1480

That's very different to the above?

[pessling]

that was the original fear in that they were advertising handbrake cables for our cars, we all know that we have difficultly in getting them, so a company like that?

Looks like you'll have to send them back and wait for our version.

[Poledriver]

Which is correct?
