Hi

I'm trying to get hold of a front brake cable but they seem to be a rare as RHS and/or priced just short of needing a new mortgage... anybody know who's got any at less than about £30 !

Also need a throttle and air slide cable- again they seem to be impossible to get for the 274 remote float carb...any ideas welcome...

Maybe an article in The Star, showing us how to make our own? Oops, sorry, have I said that before?    Phil.

a good classic service and repair shop should be able to sort, stockists of Wassels spares.. otherwise kits available to DIY .
do you have pattern ones to copy or none and need some?

cheers

Found an old cable- I think from the B31-in reasonable nick.. 6" too long and the wrong diameter adjuster but I've taken the end off- shortened it and changed the adjuster- re-soldered the nipple ...back together and all is fine....damn site cheaper than £35 for a new 'un

Hi,

I have had a self soldered clutch cable fail and do not feel confident enough to do a brake cable as my life and the lives of others may depend on it.  Personally I would rather pay the money and get quality cable from a reputable company.
