Handbrake Cable Bolt/Pin Thing
Discussion
Hi all
A quick question. How is the handbrake cable attached to the handbrake mechanism? It looks like a pin of some kind with a retaining clip.
Apologies if that sounds lazy, but I've just broken my thumb (sympathy vote!) midway through my brake upgrade, and was considering trying to fit the new cable one handed as the routing looks quite easy...!

I've had a look through my pics - do these help ?
A bit here on the left
Hope this helps. Note split pin straightened ready for removal.
This is V8S but I don't think the lever & cable arrangement here will differ.

Chris - off topic but just wondered if you might know the answer to this one. Do you know where the cable from the gearbox speedo sensor goes into the main loom? I can see it disappearing up the right-hand side of the bell housing but can't work out where it goes from there.
I think it goes through a grommet under the radio or in the region of there.
When I replace the transponder unit I was thinking of running the wires up through the gear lever hole and under the centre console, so if that's where it goes then that would be dead handy.v8s4me said:

IIRC it pokes through a hole in the gearbox cover by your left knee. 3 pin plug with red connector.Around this area....
I suspect that's a bespoke TVR part and long obsolete? Might be worth trying the TVR breakers?
These guys have some bodywork but no mention of any chassis parts, could be sold but worth asking?
TVR bits on Ebay
As an aside, funny how some people value parts, £500 for the bonnet clam seems reasonable to me , they do get broken
but £395 for a door, Who's ever needed a door?

Just a matter of finding something with the correct size spline and modifying it a bit
Maybe a Kickstart lever

As another aside - I still have an S3 etc (longer) door in primer that is surplus to requirements. PM me if you want it FREE and can collect it from near to Beaulieu Hampshire. Either that or on December 3rd it goes to the tip, now that would be a shame................ but £395 for a door, Who's ever needed a door? [/i] Me - but i never paid 300 quid or anything near that

I can confirm that, unfortunately, this doesn't fit, different number of splines
