Sorry, I can't.

But on another note, I find your username offensive. As a memeber of the Romany Gypsy Travellers Justice and Peace For All Non Theiving and Robbing bd Union I will take you to court if you do not change it this instant.

I find it offensive and bordering on Racism, if you do not do something about it, I will instruct our solicitors to remove you from this website, then get Pistonheads, then delete teh internetz. We are not tastypastrysnacklockopeningdevices and do not like the phrase to be bandied around in such a prolific manner.

Thx.

I had the same problem with my Justy and I ended up making one myself. You just need to pop down to your nearest motorbike parts place and get a D.I.Y clutch/brake cable kit. Take your original outer cable down there to make sure it's the right lengh and get your soldering iron out.

All the best. smile

I thought it was because your surname's "Pike" but don't tell 'em. wink

You can get bowden cable and solderless nipples on eBay... easy DIY job to make up the inner cable. If you don't fancy making your own, there are a few bespoke places that can probably help (e.g: http://www.venhill.co.uk/Bespoke_Hoses_and_Cables)

Thank you for the suggestions.

The part is actually for my brother in law's car and he's not been able to source one (and his garage can't source one).

I guess making is indeed a valid alternative, but was hoping someone might know of some obscure source, in a typical PH stylee smile

Cheers
