Wherever you purchase them from they are not dirt cheap.

I used ones found on eBay without issue.

Ironic isn't it handbrake cables still available for the SD1 but not the modern 75

It's not modern though, it is a car out of production for almost fourteen years, from a defunct manufacturer and it's not commercially viable to support once stocks are exhausted of a not particularly fast moving part, to tool up for a production run to replace stock.

If the part is a commonly used one, then once stock is depleted more will be sourced.

It is nothing other than commercial good practice, there is no room for sentiment.

Brian :D

If the cable is nothing special I'm sure one can get them made.

Cable and ends are generally available, same for bonnet cables.

Handbrake cables
 

You haven't said what the problem is Gordon. If you're assuming that poor handbrake performance is the result of stretched cables, I would urge you to think again.

thanks for your replys gents,i was going to change the disc from my old daily driver to my new daily when i find nact backing plates(got anyway)then to make things even worst i have a sieve for a rear upper arm so i will now take of the sub frame to replace spent most of last night on google search looking at how toos. still puzzles me how one side can be fine and look mint unless some ones done one side,plus i have to broken pig tails and need 2 new shockers so its going to be busy for the weekend.

you will need a deepish 18mm socket and a short short extension for doing the arm. Standard short extension I found too long for undoing the inner bolt of the arm.

If you have not got a short enough extension, you can make one from an extension that's to long. Cut off the square end where the socket fits on and then grind the round bar square to take the socket
