hi, still having problems fitting a handbrake cable to my disc beam on the nova.

i was advised to buy the short cable (o/s) from a mk1 cav, but that was too short and the origonal nova short cable is too long.

any other sugestions? im in a rush as i have an event coming up and want to do some testing first

Think theres actually a long and short 'short' cable, either go back to the motor factors and get another one or just extend the cable you've got with some threaded bar ... thats what i did.
