Help - handbrake cable endstop crimping required

[anonymous-user]

Hello,

I'm trying to get my Tiger through the SVA but I'm having trouble with the handbrake, namely that it doesn't have a professionally crimped endstop on the main cable.

Does anyone know somewhere locally where I could have a small ferrule crimped onto a cable?

thanks
James

NEPH covers a very large area. Where are you from?

He'd be from Newcastle Bob.

I would be inclined to try H.W.R. Motorsports up in Ponteland.

If they can't help you, they are likely to know someone who can - they are the guys who build and race Westfields...

Thanks Stefan, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

How's the Libra? Just read the article about the current V6 version in Practical Performance Car this month - very nice, although a tad expensive at £11.5k for the kit, minus engine and wheels!

the V6 is apparently a little back-end heavy though, it really needs a lighter 4 pot for balance. The best one I have seen is a turbo'd Audi engine in the back, although that is still getting built at the moment!

Mine is good though, still has a few issues that need sorting, but I did 450miles last weekend and it didn't miss a beat until coming home Monday evening when all the sidelights went out (and I got stopped by Police to boot).

On top of that, I need more money - I quite like the idea of putting a MGTF engine in, 160bhp

I was utterly amazed at the photos of the interior of the KV6 libra..stunning

mind you, the interior on your car isn't half bad either stefan

...as light as my elise but with more torsional rigidity and more power? bugger.

I need this magazine The interiour on mine is on the list of "things to re-do"

It's the black alloys that do it for me - a black car with black wheels oh and a nice wing on the back also
