Rear disc beam, cav mk2 cable?

[Graeme]

I have searched this a lot but seem to be getting lots of results and answers, can anyone get me the part number for the Cav hand brake cable that allows you to still use the long Nova cable or a link would be even better, thanks people +rep also

[Gareth_C]

Brakeworld was cab749
Hope that help needs to be 756mm long

[hendrix]

vaux-car-parts have got one in as I've just enquired. I've got 4 cables to try, 2 from a mk2 cav and 2 from a mk3. I've been told both will fit, the mk3 ones will need some m8 all-thread bar to extend it though.
Mk2 cav estate LH cable 92019440

NLS though

[hendrix]

ps I'm fitting mine on Friday so I'll let you know exactly which ones fit.

[Graeme]

So it needs to be of a Mk2 cav estate LH cable and should be 756mm long?

[Gareth_C]

On the brakeworld site all the mk2 are the Same length but that's the one I used and had no bother

[hendrix]

thought the estate was longer.

I have no idea which ones fit, I've just got every single one that anyone has mentioned lol.

I thing Sean (srs1) has used mk2 cav estate. They are different to the cab749 listed above.

Can't see it Gareth, cheers Hendrix

[Benn]

Now i'm impressed, it's not just me that knows.


You need the Nova long bit, and the Cav mk2 short bit. But there are lengths iirc its the shorter size as that has the longer threaded bar. I can check and get part number tomoz if you want them.

[Jeff16v]

See below, I had to make up a short m8 joining piece to join the two cables together, i ended up using an achor sleeve and just cut the non threaded bit off.

[Benn]

If you use the right cable you dont need to^

[Jeff16v]

If you use the right cable you dont need to^
I fail at following advice issued by Benn, mainly because I wear a shirt and tie to work.lol either that or my arms aren't strong enough to pull them together.

Edit, I'm always grateful for the help though Benn:)

[Gareth_C]

Can't see it Gareth, cheers Hendrix

It links you to the catalogue page then choose the cables option from the left menu Etc
It gives you the oem part number

[Benn]

lol With the right cable it all just slots then winds together like a normal Nova one...

[Jeff16v]

Mines over engineered then, just like a golf, lol

[Graeme]

So both parts of mk2 Cav cables then Benn?

[Jeff16v]

So both parts of mk2 Cav cables then Benn?
No, lol

[Graeme]

Still confused then lol

[Jeff16v]

Still confused then lol

Nova long, cavalier estate short. Ask Benn, lol

[Graeme]

Euro is quoting the estate one as 857mm, so this is the one that doesn't need extending then?

[Benn]

Let me check, as the longer one has the shorter threaded bit.

[blue_peg_16v]

I always thought it was the cav estate one

[Graeme]

I have a friend checking with his motor factors today as i have found a cav estate reg to use, cheers everyone for the input

[Pistol Pete]

See the part numbers thread. I posted them in there. Also see my wip thread for pics. Got mine from euro car parts.

[Graeme]

Thanks pete

[scorge01]

Could you pm me the reg so I could get one aswell mate? :)

[Graeme]

Will do when i'm back home on the computer, i just did a google image search and noted the first one

[Benn]

These are the firstline (maker) cable number, i've found i'm not using the estate one tho.

Left hand one fkb1032 (which for a Nova is run to the right) this fits perfectly with the Nova long bit. These is on my car at the mo.

[Graeme]

Can you get them though Benn, Euro is saying maybe not, if you can I'll send you the money for the part and postage, and get you a beer or burger at a show or return the favour some how

[Benn]

Yeah i can get them, i order them in direct from firstline.

[Graeme]

How much do you want me to send you?

[Benn]

Let me get one in tomoz, then we can sort postage. Cant be more than a fiver tho..

[Graeme]

There 11 quid on Amazon but I don't have an account on there and cba setting one up, cheers Benn

[Benn]

I ment for postage..lol Cable is about 6-8quid trying to think back...

[blue_peg_16v]

Ok what do you use with an early beam collected the disc beam for the van yesterday but it's the early type and there's no cables with it any ideas

[hendrix]

doing mine friday, I'll take pics and let you know exactly what I use doing it.

[Pistol Pete]

Euro car parts ordered mine and they arrived next day.

[Benn]

Ok what do you use with an early beam collected the disc beam for the van yesterday but it's the early type and there's no cables with it any ideas

Doesn't matter what the beam is, the cable will be the same..

[blue_peg_16v]

Early ones use different cables don't they as dosent have the guides just has loops for the cable there's one the same on the bay I'll link it in a min so you can see what I mean

[Benn]

[Graeme]

What you saying Benn?

[blue_peg_16v]

Not sure what you mean been here's a pic abit crap as it's dark and no flash on my phone there a loop that the cable sits in

[Graeme]

I hope you didn't pay 170 quid for that beam Rich

[blue_peg_16v]

No nowhere near that pick is crap tbf it's in decent nick just noticed the one on eBay was the same early type beam

I'm a tight Yorkshire man I'd want a full nova for £170 lol

[hendrix]

don't you have to weld the guides on after cutting them off a vaux disc beam/

[blue_peg_16v]

Not with the later beam you just use the other cable this has some guides like a later beam but there welded closer to the chassis mounts so cable would catch on exhaust think I'll just remove them and weld them into the proper position just thought if there was a cable like the early nova ones you could use I'd use those to save faffing.

[Benn]

The round tube like guilds are from Cavs and Astra and such, you can buy them to weld on. Didnt know thy can on early Novas too. But i never saw the point. I have ones that are a metal C shape with a plastic inner that just guilds the cables.. Which is what most Novas have.

Graeme, cable will be in tomoz, is 8-9 quid. Can post it Sat if you want..

[blue_peg_16v]

Yeah that's what I have on the saloon mate think I'm just gonna weld some c shaped guides to it the beams on 83-85 novas were like the one I have changed after that to the style you have benn

[Benn]

Oh, didn't know that. You can buy the tube like ones, youmight be able to buy the others too.

[blue_peg_16v]

I have a beam I can releive of them if needs be

[Graeme]

Pm'd Benn

[Graeme]

Right first of my ordered cables has just landed and it the cav mk2 estate short cable from Euro but it has an outer, which I can only presume is wrong, how have other peoples estate cables arrived? Look easy enough to remove if needs be

[Benn]

Cover over it shouldnt matter, I leave them on, just lock them off from moving with a cable tie each end.

[hendrix]

I can't be any help I'm afraid as I never got round to the beam after the head gasket went
