Handbrake cable

[Jonbouy]

Cerbera 98 4.5 handbrake cable, is there alternative part number for this? I know there isn't one on the approved list already made. Would the pug one fit off the 605? Also the aluminium hub back plate this must be a tvr part?

I read somewhere that this was a late 1980's Ford Fiesta handbrake cable. Can't remember where I saw this though. Yes - pretty sure the backing plate must be TVR part

Pretty sure the alum backplate has to be Cerb specific as the 3 location holes have to line up with the hub mounting.

Be prepared to grind/ file the ends of the cable down to the right thickness!

Thanks greenracing, iv done abit of research today and found it looks very similar to a ford cosworth one, on the 98 onwards cerbs the cable length is 122inches? And is this measured from cable end to cable end?

Saved me today, thought I was going to have to replace the handbrake cable - turns out the jubilee clip works a treat, although it is a terrible job trying to get it on the cable. MOT due one week today so hoping it passes. If I ever meet you I definitely owe you at least one beer!!

Glad to be of service

And you are right - it is a stinker of a job, but it does work.
