My passenger side handbrake cable needs to be a little longer, a couple of inches would do it. With the extra lift & because of the auxillary fuel tank (I'm on LPG) it just doesn't make it.
Anything compatible from another model?
Mines a 94 model.

Does your tank have the hole through it? If yes, I used some off a 97 rear cables they fork at the end of from the lever and are long enough. Although mine were too long and I had to get them shortend, for my 98. It may pay to suss that out though as I pulled them from wreck, the same time I pulled the tank, but it may have had the cables already changed.

The updates use two different length cables where the pre-update uses two the same length, I think I still have an update cable here, if I can find it I can measure it and tell you what the difference is if you like....

Thanks guys.
No hole through the tank Anthony.
Are the update's cables the same connections?
If so, lengths would be great thanks JJ.

Contact this mob mate.

I got heaps of contacts in the trade from all over Australia.

Like Air America I am.

Will make your cable for you and not rip you off if you need one made and can't sort out another to suit.

They do custom fits like your after.

Ok I found the cables today so I was able to measure them for you, the preupdate is 1340mm (cable) and 960mm (sheath), the update is 1850 (cable) and 1610 (sheath).
Now those measurements are "near enough" so they aren't precise but will give you an idea, and they use the same ends etc.
If you find that the update cable is right for you pm me and we can com to arrangement.

Cheers, JJ
