Anyone know what the handbrake cable is off on a 280 fhc? Or is it a bespoke TVR item? Just in the middle of changing the diff on mine and had to hacksaw through the cable to get it off!

Don't know because mine has been replaced with a generic. However, I believe that the length of the outer sheath is quite critical in getting the hand brake to work properly. I thought I had it right and reassembled everything and it is better but still a bit too long. If you get an accurate measurement you might post it for future reference.

And me, from RT that is. Also I didn't get the outer clipped properly behind the hand brake lever. Didn't work properly, and fiddly to do. Think I had to lift the tunnel trim a tad to get at it.
