hi guys would anybody be able to post up a pic of a cavalier
short handbrake cable
i am trying to make up a cable to suit my disc rear beam
and the long length is standard nova
but the short length that was fitted is much smaller than the nova one i bought
wandered if any1 has a pic of a nova and cavalier cable together?

Cheers

Hi Benn

Thanks for that, i will try and get hold of one of those
hopefully that will make my handbrake pull evenly on both sides

Cheers

Most motor factors suppliers give the dimensions for the cables in the parts catalogues.

I picked the 1st cable that I saw & it was correct.

Part nos are in my build thread if you want to trawl though it.

To let you know, some novas had different cables. You need the long nova cable that runs to the n/s (passenger) and a 1.6 cav short cable. You will need to extend the threaded bar on the cav cable so that its long enough to reach accross the beam.

This way uses the standard nova beam brackets too.

Ah no, if you use the estate cav mk2 short bit the thread bar bit is longer.
