i joke i joke lol

Its the long nova cable to the passenger rear wheel, the mk2 cavalier estate cable to the drivers side. You can use the normal mk2 cav short cable but will need to extend the threaded bar. Ive not used a estate cable myself so im not 100% on it fitting first time

lol i got upset for a second and realised Im sure that will have something to do with the other thread, just surprised nobody replied for so long. i will see if i can get hold of one or the other, does it matter on engine size or year the cable? and its the drivers side mk2 cav im after

Ah ha.

Yea, a 1.6 86 mk2 Cav estate cable fits. There should be 3 lengths, you want the middle one as the thread bar is longest on that one.

Nova long to the pass side, Cav one to the drivers.
