Brake Cable Suppliers ?
T66 - 8/12/11 at 07:50 PM

Friend has one of these 7 seater Renault things, its a 2005 model with the electronic over cable handbrake.



One of his mechanics couldnt free the caliper end off it, so snipped the cable.....



Renault want £350+vat for a plastic outer, steel lined cable around 2ft long !



Is there anywhere Locosters use for similar cables, or suppliers of the components to make his own up.



Im sorry I dont know what model it is.





Thanks in advance

I'll second that - they made me a brill clutch cable - "bespoke" - exactly as I specified - made, posted and arrived in a week for just over £50.

I was not the said cable snipper - Its my mates garage, and said cable snipper has been given some feedback.



Anyway - About that embarrassing problem.........

Sounds like someone tried to do the job without plugging in the gizmo to release the caliper??
