recomend me a handbrake cable

I need a handbrake cable for my new project. It needs to be sheathed so that I can route the cable round corners and it needs to have clevis type wheel ends as used on a mini or others. Short would be good but I could cut down a longer one. A means of adjustment would be nice too.

I know you guys know a lot of stuff about cars. Do any of you have any bright ideas?

would a clutch cable or two be suitable? I would have thought it was more the right 'gauge' for a light weight machine.

Nice idea. ISTR that the R1's throttle cables were of a suitable gauge and came as a matched pair.

Nice avatar BTW
