Lengthening handbrake cable - 80 series

[BFCK97]

Just wondering if anybody knows somewhere that can extend an 80 series handbrake at the end where it attatches to the body.
i've got a 75 cab on an 80 chassis and the handbrake cable is one of my last big head aches i'm trying to sort out.
It needs to be about 6" longer to reach the handbrake position in the 75 series body.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Mark

Go an see a boat shop. They have cable an clamps so you might be able to come up with something there. Cut the cable and add in the extra 6 inches.

yeh had thought of doing something like that.
have to also extend the outside housing of the cable though.
could possibly do that with some aluminium tubing.
the end of the cable has a threaded on it so should be able to get something made to suit, but was hoping to get it modified professionally.

The mob you're looking for is 'Flexible Drive Agencies', give them a call of if there's an office nearby just pop in with the cable.

thanks for the help guys.
have emailed them, hopefully hear back soon as the handbrake cable is holding me up a bit, don't want to put the fuel tank in until handbrake is sorted

hmm well that makes me look dumb.
must have measured it when i had the stupidly high lift in it, makes the distance no worries now and should cope with the 3" lift i wanna do
