[QUOTE] Hi Gordon.
What is wrong with your cables ? few links below but as always double check with the seller. rimmers no longer have them but have a read about the Vin change https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-SPB101550 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...cable&_sacat=0 https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/trw-7009185.html Wherever you purchase them from they are not dirt cheap. https://www.ukmgparts.com/catalogue/rover75-r754-brakes

If the cable is nothing special I'm sure one can get them made.
Cable and ends are generally available, same for bonnet cables. macafee2 |

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.

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 macafee2 |
