Handbrake Compensator

[David]

As Steve says, the Index description of doing the swap is excellent.

I think this is the correct one; certainly looks right:
BMW MINI ONE COOPER S R50 R52 R53 HANDBRAKE LEVER CABLE CONNECTOR 2001-2006 | eBay

If you do go for the Mini R53 compensator, generally available on eBay, and probably better than the stainless one from Arctic anyway, you should read this thread below though, since there are two different length cables, depending on the year of Mini.
