Does anyone know what car the handbrake cable is from...i cant see it being TVR specific ....seen loads of ford ones on ebay and local motor factors can get a sierra one for £13 that looks the same as the one i took off....much better than the £50 for a 'TVR One' rolleyes

Andy why dont you take it with you,i will tell you the granada MK3 one is slightly longer but the same design,i had this dilemma when converting my 2.8i capri to sierra rear disc brakes many many moons ago.

We had a look through a parts book on saturday as i was just passing so i found the one that looked most similar. I shall be taking the cable down there soon to have a look and see if we can match it up....was just seeing if anyone had a rough idea to give us a start.

Also going to need the part numbers for the top and bottom ball joints as well...i know the tops are saab...

i was actually thinking of going with hydraulic handbrake...seen the calipers, about£60 each, would just need to make some brackets and another slave cylinder to actuate the calipers...but this is on hold....there are too many peopple rubbing my nose in it about getting there cars back on the road soon...
