I need some handbrake cables made up. Anyone know of someone in SE Melb that does this? I'm getting a BL next week, and I already know the outer sheaths are stretched as tight as a drum under the vehicle now. The extra length needed may just make them unusable

there is a company that makes morse cables in Carrum Downs....
I don't know their name, but they should be in the yellow pages, or ring some aeroplane wreckers at Moorabbin airport, and ask them who makes the cables for them.

I just had my cables modified and the shop I took them to indicated as they were for brakes they had to be sent to Melb

as any fittings that are required to be pressed onto brake cables, by law have to be done at an incedible pressure.
He showed me the chart but I can't recall what it was.
They were sent to a specialised shop in Melb so make sure the people you are dealing with are certified for this or will send them out to be done properly.
