Looking for handbrake cables.

Ooopsy, eta some content...
I'm using Diahatsu Applause rear calipers and the handbrake cable ends need to have barrel type nipples on the end. Ideally, the other ends would have a thread for adjustment.
Anyone got a webby to look up such things with dimensions and piccies?

Id say contact mksportscars or danny keenan on her for a solderless nipple as it sounds like what i will be doing.

But I still need something to attach the nipple to......

Hi Owelly.
Have you thought of trailer cables?.
I am using them on the three wheeler.

Well, yes and no! I use Seat handbrake cables for my trailers as they are about £8 each but they don't have threaded bits on them. If I could find a webby with ends/lengths I could cross ref to find the cheapest fitment!
