Handbrake cables

I know the handbrake cable question has been asked before, but I can't find exactly what I'm looking for...

What cables are people using to fit Sierra 9 inch drums? (Apart from Sierra cables!).

Any pics would be useful too...

Cheers guys,

Graham

What's wrong with the sierra ones, my handbrake is bloody good........ I did have to cut the cable and then overlapped it past the equaliser part (u pressing) and fixed them back together each side using 4 small u-bolts (M6 thread)

Just working out the options. I'm having some difficulty getting the rather inflexible end past the upright.

Is is a case that all ford handbrake cables will fit all ford hubs and therefore any other cables that people have used (irrespective of if they've got live or irs read ends) will fit Sierra drums?

I rather foolishly chopped mine up whilst stripping the donor, so i'll need a new one too....

Standard part should work on mine i think.
