Which Handbrake Cable?

I am building an Indy, and using Sierra Cossie solid discs in the back, and the standard lever. Is there a special cable for that, or are all sierra cables the same? Where can I get the cable I need?

Would these do, and is the price about right?

Cheers

Fairly sure that cable will be ok but you will probably have to shorten it and fit a new nipple thingy.

Price looks about right.

Usually the adjuster is on the shorter outer cable. I ended up getting two cables cutting them in half and using the two shorter (adjustable) outers with two inners joined with wire clamps...
